Phishing in Yahoo! Geocities?

Van Cutter Romney asks: "I've received a lot of phishing IMs on my Yahoo! Messenger from contacts whose accounts I guess have been hacked into. All the phishing messages lead to Geocities websites like this where the user is displayed a Yahoo! login page. For most people, the page looks legitimate and they enter their Yahoo! username and password (I was nearly fooled once). Since both the website (Geocities) and the messenger belong to Yahoo!, I'd like to know if they are doing to anything to counter these attacks."

I've known about this since December of 2005.

You are about 8 months late!

I initially was told that all you had to do was go to the site, by my roommate, but after a while found out he lied to me, and he logged in like this guy posted.

I've since got him the netcraft toolbar, which tells and can block you from going to phish sites, or at least warn you about it.
