I Googled this type of misuse. and came to know that these people hijack the account by stealing the cookies from our computer to use for marketing purpose. :dry:

I just reported to Yahoo support , Changed my password, Deleted my cookies.

I want you all to be alert while surfing, don't surf any website which is unknown to you or is not trustful.

Its under control now but I am receiving messages from my friends regarding such kind of mail. :(

Hope we learn some thing from this type of incident.

Thank you.
We all need be careful in browsing. But what exactly should be the precautions. There are many websites and we click the one of interest. One precaution is not to click any link in mail but instead copy and paste it, Please inform the precautions that we may take.
