More Yahoo Madness

I’m following the story of a friend who lost their Yahoo account to phishing. Phishing is the evil art of faking someone into giving you their account information. Most often this is done with an email that looks like it came from the website in questions (whether it be Yahoo, eBay, PayPal, you bank, etc.) asking for you to reply with your username and password or to click a link in the email and enter your username or passwrod. (There are others phishing techniques as well but I won’t get into them now.) Based on my previous experience (documented here, here and here) I’m curious to see how things turn out. Once her issue is resolved I’ll post some detail about it here.
