Never input any password into a website that doent have the padlock sign where the website address is! So, don't even reply that mail, yahoo didn't send it!

the picture you upload, the web address below is not from yahoo team. If you feel like filling the form I recommend you do research on yahoo team, about mail from yahoo verifying you upate your account, search for yahoo support email or help center then foward or copy the email send to you using a different email account and not your email.

What do u mean by phishing

Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Example:

Download Gmail phishing page: http://askguyson.com/download-gmail-phishing-page/
