Yeah, don't click on that link. Don't do it!
One safeguard I have is I don't use contacts. Never really found a need
for them.
I've either sent the person emailt recently enough that it's in my
intellisense or I dig it
up from a previous email.
If I got hacked, I'm pretty sure it at least wouldn't be able to go
anywhere.
Good to know to stay away from Yahoo.

understanding of the mechanism by which many Yahoo accounts have been
compromised.

I'm sure plenty of account hijacks are due to phishing victims and
stolen databases, but clearly not all.
