Yahoo! phishing warning Websense Security labs have rolled out a warning cautioning internet users of a new phishing scam targeting Yahoo! users.

Users get a message via Yahoo!’s instant messenger asking them to “click on this website”. Following the link takes you to what apparently seems to be Yahoo!’s photo service.

However the site, which is hosted in the US, has nothing to do with Yahoo!. When users enter their user name and password to the site they receive an error message and their account details are forwarded to a third party.

To have a look at the warning and the screenshots of the fake site, click here.
