Apparently there is a worm attacking Yahoo mail and groups today, John was able to find this information and a link to explain it a little.
***************************************************
If you use Yahoo Mail to read E-mail or any Yahoo group, do not open any mail messages where the subject line is "New Graphic Site"! It is a worm/virus that is spreading via a JavaScript flaw in Yahoo Mail.
When the message is opened in Yahoo mail, it accesses your Yahoo contact list, mails itself to everyone on it, and uploads your contact list to another site for who knows what nefarious purposes (probably spam). It also opens a new browser window to another site, which currently does nothing bad.
Here is a link with more information. This is all new, so I'm sure there will be more to come.

Feel free to let anyone know or repost this message anywhere as needed.

Has anyone heard anything further? I run several Yahoo groups and I'm trying to explain things to the members.
Thanks in advance!
