The fake email message is being sent by cybercriminals to trick Yahoo! AT&T users into sending them their account credentials, by asking them to click on a link in the same email message that goes to a phishing Yahoo! AT&T website. The phishing website, which looks exactly like Yahoo's sign-in page, will ask potential victims to sign-in with their Yahoo! AT&T accounts credential, but once potential victims attempt to sign-in, their account credentials will be sent to the cybercriminals responsible for the fake website. The cybercriminals will then use the stolen credentials to hijack their victims' accounts and use them fraudulently. The "Yahoo!
