Who�d ever thought you�d have to protect yourself from such fun pursuits as �phishing� or �spoofing?�  But according to email experts, these are very harmful spamming techniques.

Through a form of identity theft called �phishing,� spammers try to fake, or spoof, their identity in email in an effort to gain access to consumers� personal information, such as passwords or credit card information.  To increase protection from these dangerous activities, Yahoo! Inc., today announced that it�s implemented DomainKeys, a technology that verifies the sender of email messages.  Brad Garlinghouse is with Yahoo! Inc.:

�By applying a DomainKeys technology choice system, we�re improving our strong, anti-spam safeguards to help protect consumers from �phishing� and identity theft.  And consumers don�t have to do a thing; Yahoo! will do all the work behind the scenes so consumers automatically receive this increased protection.�

In addition to DomainKeys, Yahoo! Mail has also enhanced its service by increasing storage to 250 megabytes, improving email search capabilities, and making it easier to switch to the award-winning yahoo! Mail service with address book tools.  For more information, go to mail-dot-yahoo-dot-com.
