Some guidelines to keep in mind:
* Security questions must be 5 to 100 characters in length and may only contain letters and numbers.
* The answers to your questions must be 4 to 32 characters in length and may only contain letters and numbers.
* Security questions cannot contain the answer.
* The security questions cannot be the same.
* The answers to your two security questions cannot be the same.
If you get an email that seems like it’s from Yahoo but asks you to click on a suspicious link, think twice. Official mail from Yahoo will always have the Y logo next to its name.
Be savvy about the files you download via Messenger. Some malware has been known to masquerade as a different type of file, for example, YOURS.JPG.exe
Also, use your best judgment when clicking a link sent to you via message. If it’s from a person not in your buddy list, definitely don’t click it. If it’s from a buddy, but it’s the first message they send, be wary.
