The only way to protect yourself is to arm yourself with knowledge. When you relax and expect others to protect you, they usually drop the ball. So this is why I do what I do.

Dear Customer,

Your email has been accessed in multiple locations. Click below to update your Yahoo account

Customer Support.

Link does NOT go to your sign in but instead goes to hxxp://www.checkdesi.com/Yahoo/yahoo.html

It seems the site is still up and Microsoft SmartScreen is warning that it is dangerous. I am reporting it to Yahoo as a Phishing attempt.

Seems the way to report it is through phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com (I am waiting to verify if that is the right email to contact - found it online) or this form: io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index#comm-form
