Yahoo! Adds Sign-In Seal Phishing Shield
Joris Evers reports for CNET News.com that Yahoo! is testing a new "sign-in seal" security feature intended to help prevent phishing attacks from being successful. According to Yahoo!, a "sign-in seal is a secret message or photo that Yahoo! will display on this computer only." The seal, customized by the user can be text-based or an image uploaded by the user. If the user doesn't see their customized sign-in seal on a Yahoo! web site, then it's not a genuine Yahoo! site.
