    "Warning" IM Worm in Yahoo

    An IM-based worm is spreading itself via Yahoo Messenger.
    propagating through people's contacts lists and directing victims to a malicious Web site.
    The site looks like a legitimate Yahoo 360 log-in page and prompts you for your username and password.
    It then stores the information to be used Illegaly

    Also watch out for an email purporting to be an online greetings card from a legit US company. As I do have a family member in the US I very nearly fell for it except the email address used was not one he would have known about.
