Question about my Yahoo account.?
I just recently received an email from the "Yahoo Team" indicating that my account was one of many chosen to be canceled if I do not update certain info. like my password, etc. This email really doesn't look to be that authentic...Non-the-less, I really don't want to take any chances by submitting to their request...My question is has anyone else received this email? If so, was it authentic? This is important to me because, according to the "Yahoo Team", I only have 48 hours to submit the requested info or my email address will be terminated permanently. Thanx in advance.....

I have read, time and time again, that Yahoo never contacts yu directly and asks for this type of information.
Do not send the information, instead, send the email on to the Yahoo Security team - I will try to add the address into this as soon as I locate it.
Take a really good look at your security measures and strengthen them, including making a very difficult password and filling in that secondary email address (Under Account Info)
Do not send them ANYTHING. Do not contact them in any way !
Good luck
