I got the following email which looks like it came from Yahoo but after forwarding it to yahoo's tech he verified that it is NOT from them and should be reported to [email protected] so I thought I'd pass this warning alone so you don't get caught in some nasty junk.

DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IN THIS EMAIL!!!!!!!
Better yet I have change the "http" to "crap" so hopefully it won't work anyway.

I have no idea, I did not open it or click on that link.
I just got in touch with Yahoo tech and asked him what it was. He had me forward it to him so he could check it out. He found that it was a phising (not sure I spelled that right) thing and he said when you enter that web site they automatically collect you personal information off your computer and use it for what ever. I can only assume they would use it in some sort of identity theft thing.

We have been attacked at work as well. Hackers finding out what provider my school district is using and did the same thing. It is too bad that these hackers aren't doing something useful and help and protect us instead of making us having to protect and fight within ourselves.

I got something like that in my hotmail and if you click on it, they will change the password and lock you out. Then they will contact everyone on your contact list for money. Ask me how I know!!! You need to contact your administrator over Yahoo and let them know!
