REPORT: Verizon is close to a revised deal that cuts Yahoo's price by about $250 million

Verizon has tentatively reached a revised deal with Yahoo that could be released in the coming days, according to Bloomberg.

The deal cuts Yahoo's price by about $250 million, according to the report.

Verizon was said to have reconsidered the $4.8 billion deal in December after Yahoo announced that 1 billion account credentials had been stolen as far back as 2013. Both companies will reportedly share legal responsibility for the hack.

Yahoo shares gained nearly 2% in trading after the news crossed.
