privacy breach
I was in Yahoo mail via the Sky site, I exited the system and my then used the same machine. She logged in to Sky under her username and password, got a security code on her phone, and was welcomed by her name. She then clicked on Yahoo Mail, and MY email page appeared giving her access to MY data which is a clear breach of data protection. Is this unusual? We have free access to each others emails so not an issue here for us,

No thats you not logging out correctly and allowing someone to login again on the same browser.
No data breach here but more likely cookies not cleared or the browser tab not closed when you logged out?
