Yahoo Sign-In Seal

I noticed that Yahoo has started offering personalized anti-phishing seals. The seals are linked to each computer, not Yahoo! IDs. Looks like they started offering the service back in September.

How does a sign-in seal protect me?

A sign-in seal is a secret between the computer you set it up on and Yahoo!. So when you sign in to Yahoo! from this computer, your sign-in seal tells you that you’re seeing a genuine Yahoo! site, not a phishing site.

Why do I have to set up a seal on each computer I use?

Your sign-in seal is associated with your computer, not your ID. It is a convenient way to instantly recognize a genuine Yahoo! sign-in page and be sure that you’re not on a page created by fraudsters attempting to steal your Yahoo! ID and password. Because we associate your sign-in seal with your computer, after you create a seal, there are no additional steps to signing in. Even if a phisher knows or guesses your ID or other personal information, they cannot use it to discover your sign-in seal. Note: Yahoo! will never ask for your Yahoo! ID or password in order to set up or display your sign-in seal.

I was going to show what the final seal looks like but that would be counter-productive to say the least.

This is the first time I’ve received email from Myspace phishers. The beginning looks somewhat legit, but then read the bottom, see the references to Windows Registry keys?
