A
phishing email that's designed to trick Yahoo! users into handing over
their usernames and passwords is making the rounds these days.
According to reports from millersmiles.co.uk, the email reads something like this:
Service Update
Our
security system has noticed an intrusion into your account, which shows
that someone tried to access your email account without your
permission. We have limited access to your account due to this problem.
You are advised to verify your account

Thank you for helping us serve you better.
Customer Service Yahoo!
Users
who fall for it and click on the link are taken to a free domain that's
been set up to host a phishing page. The webpage replicates the genuine
Yahoo! login page in hopes that unsuspecting internauts will provide
their login credentials.
We advise users to check the URL of a
website before entering their credentials. If the "https" connection or
the padlock icon are missing, it's most likely a scam.
