#150072 - Phishing and Yahoo! is helpless
This second time my yahoo password didnot match :(( ,even though I use " Keep me signed in for 2 weeks unless I sign out " .I managed to reset account using security questions.

I found a link here:
http://www.silicon.com/research/...006,00.htm

which says Yahoo! itself is mother host of all Phishers.

PLEASE DONT PRESS THE LINK suggested in the text box that the below URL shows
http://ha.ckers.org/blog/2006...ing-email/

This seems to be a phishing person ,who want to tempt people press the link which he says he got in his email (Suspisious).

Anyone knows how this phishing scam works ? . Is there any possiblity the phishing attack could be launched by downloading a pdf reader upgrade (which I suspect happened on its own with me yesterday) .
