Did you get such Spam Mail from Yahoo Data? It can be an act of Terrorist,don't you think so?

Terrorist have been using the internet facilities & have been hacking the mail accounts of genuine account holders of any of the internet service provider such as yahoo, google, msn etc. I got one spam mail from Yahoo Data <alert@yahoo-inc.com>

Wherein I have been asked to disclose all the security information such as my password, date of birth etc to them, as this information is most important to steal my yahoo email account & this information will be sufficient for any terrorist group to send email using my account to any government or non-government agency of any terrorist attack or activity, thus putting me in trouble later on, as the US person staying in Mumbai got involved for sending email from his email account regarding Ahmedabad bomb blast although he never did it but some hacker used his account for doing all this. I forwarded this Spam mail to Yahoo India team for taking necessary action so that in case these mails are being sent to many or all Yahoo India user none may by mistake disclose his or her important security information to the person seeking this information & the such person hack and misuse the email of a genuine yahoo mail user .If any other Yahoo user got such Spam mail should not disclose his or her security information to any unknown person. Hope Yahoo India will take necessary action against such person sending such Spam mail to yahoo user.

    I do not think it is terrorist. It is a phishing scam to steal your identity. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. Good luck!!!

    Oh for Gosh sake! This is the act of a terrorist! This is simply phishing or spoofing, another form of spam. It isn't hackers. If you, or anyone you know is foolish enough to give personal information via email to total strangers, you will get some very unpleasant surprises. This is SPAM. Put it in spam and forget it.
