Phight Pishing!

Yahoo Mail has come up with a brand new way to protect its users from phishing attacks. It will help all Yahoo users to be able to diffrentiate the genuine Yahoo Mail from fake ones. When you open Yahoo Mail you will be allowed to create a custom seal that will be displayed on that page. Something similar to the image that I have posted. Sometime when you are signing on to Yahoo you will see a flap at the same position where "Welcome Prateek Saxena" is written which would say "Password Protection". Just click on that and you will be allowed to choose either an image or text of 21 characters that is 7 characters in each line and a color of your choice. Once you have chosen the color and text it will save this badge and will dislay it evertime you open Yahoo Mail on that computer.





NOTE: This will only apply to your computer as Yahoo will place a cookie on your computer's hard disk. You wont be able to see this while accessing Yahoo Mail while on some other machine
