Yahoo Users Compromised

Someone has recently broken into a Yahoo account, used the trusted status that user has with their contacts to persuade people to visit a web site which asks THEM for their Yahoo username and password, and so on, gathering Yahoo user IDs. They are now sending out Paypal phishing emails to those users, which link to http://paypallogin.net . This is a fake site!
