Yahoo's Attempt at Anti-Phishing
Yahoo recently launched Sign-In Seal in an attempt to thwart phishing attacks. The concept is similar to the SiteKey used by Bank of America some time back. A Sign-In Seal is a secret message or an image selected by the user that Yahoo will display on the user's computer everytime the user visits Yahoo from the same machine. This can enable the users to make sure that they are on a genuine Yahoo site. The images below show how Yahoo SignIn seal can be used.

Hello Abhishek,
Thanks for the information.
As you have mentioned the seal will be displayed if the user accesses Yahoo from the same machine.
I feel this shouldn't be the case.
from whichever machine a user sign-on he should be displayed the seal (vary from user to user)and this would separate it from any phishing website.
Thanks and Regards
