Messenger Safety & Security Tip

As most of you know, Yahoo takes security and spam infiltration seriously and employs various measures to help protect our users.

Very recently we learned of an issue where some users have received spam messages in Yahoo Messenger from their contact list. Yahoo Messenger has quickly worked to resolve the situation.

As always, we recommend that any Yahoo! Messenger user who receives a suspicious IM containing a link should first IM the friend to ensure the message is legitimate before moving forward.  

We strongly advise users to not download executable (.exe) files that are sent through Yahoo! Messenger. Also, we recommend that users that have anti-virus software on their computer employ the latest anti-virus updates.
