Yahoo scam...?

I received a "notification" in my inbox this morning.
On the surface it looked "legit" but I always scrutinize the email address from which it was sent, such is the case for this...

...the address, which may be difficult to read (as noted by the red arrow below) is "cjgb.co.kr"

If legit, I would think it would be from an @yahoo.com address!

For yahoo users, has anyone received a request to update their password?

    Standard Phishing technique.

    Companies NEVER send out blanket statement emails telling you that you need to "verify your account details", "update your password", etc.

    As much as we tell people not to fall for these scams, as much as you see these issues reported on the news, PEOPLE STILL FALL FOR THEM.

    NO. Nothing looks legit. Yahoo or any legit company will never ever send such a message. Front, back, top, bottom everything looks like fraud.

    Delete and move on. No need to open or investigate. Delete, delete, delete.
