Do you use Yahoo! for email?

If you do, just be a little wary of what you get.
Mass-mailing worm exploits a vulnerability in the Web-based e-mail, but its impact is low. Jeremy Kirk from IDG News Service wrote a short piece that talks about a "Worm Attacks Yahoo E-Mail"

In part, Jeremy said:
A mass-mail worm that exploits a vulnerability in Yahoo's Web-based e-mail is making the rounds but the impact appears to be low, security vendor Symantec said today.

The worm, which Symantec calls JS.Yamanner@m, is different from others in that a user merely has to open the e-mail to cause it to run, said Kevin Hogan, senior manager for Symantec Security Response.
