Posted by Harsha

Yahoo has released Sign-in Seal to Protect its users against password theft.

A sign-in seal is a secret message or photo that Yahoo! will display only on your computer where you created this seal. You need to look for it every time you sign in to make sure you are on a genuine Yahoo! website. If you see no message, photo, or colors are different, then you may have landed on a phishing site.

What is phishing?: Phishing is an attempt to steal your password and private account info. Phishers can set up fake web sites that look like those of trusted companies like Yahoo! to trick you into disclosing your user name and password.
