January 6, 2003 at 8:36 pm #98838FanaticMemberI suppose it’s possible. Another good reason for not clicking on links from people you don’t know.
January 7, 2003 at 8:33 am #98842OpTiMiStMemberhi there….as u said by just a click she got ur password..i dont think its possible…i think she/he knows u and she had gotten ur password ..and she just wanted to wonder u…….or wan`d to make fun….do u know her or something else…….
could u explane it more………anyway its better to save ur password and ur profile…..specially be careful about ur profile….
dont worry be happyJanuary 7, 2003 at 7:34 pm #98844imnottiredMemberum…..the site is coded so it sends the yahoo login to her email ….it asked for ur yahoo login (says must login to yahoo java ….making u think its a yahoo online store…..)

Another reason why you should never fill your Yahoo login information in on a site with unknown source.
Same goes with all the other ones. If you would have to enter your BigBlueBall.com password on my website, would you do it? Of course not!
So what’s the difference with Yahoo.com?January 7, 2003 at 10:34 pm #98840macroheadwithamicrobrainMemberDidnt your mommy tell you?

I have seen many sites like this. Mainly those sites are just on someone’s computer or webspace, and ask you to login with your (MSN) passport.
Whenever you click ‘Login’, an e-mail will be sent to that person with your login name and password.Best way to see if it’s a fake page, is enter your real login, but with a wrong password. If it explicitly says ‘Invalid password’, the chances of it being a real page are close to 99%. If it says nothing, and just goes back to the login page, it’s fake.
Thanks for your post, OpTiMiSt. That’s exactly what I meant. Look at the URL of the page, not the fancy logo’s and whatever it claims to be.
January 9, 2003 at 9:30 pm #98839macroheadwithamicrobrainMemberOpTiMiSt and DJHyperbyte are right.
Look at the address bar of your browser. If the url didnt start withxxxxxxxx">http://xxxxxxxx.yahoo.com/
it is NOT a Yahoo page!
