Never give out your personal information if you are not sure of where it came from.
There is no need to update your information. Someone is trying to steal your password for yahoo,and possibly some of your private information as well,especially if you are using a credit card for yahoo purchases.
Report them and delete the message.

Go to the yahoo mail help site and send a letter to them and ask them to confirm that it is them, I have heard too of so many scammers trying to get personal information so have the yahoo confirm this,,I believe you can send an email to abuse@yahoo.com to get an answer. Good luck! By the way it is a good idea not to list your address on websites as that tells scammers you exist.

Yes I think so. I don't think Yahoo would send that message. They don't care if your user profile stays up to date. Don't click on the link.

Check if that mail carries official yahoo logo and all, if not its surely spam, coz no official yahoo! mail will send mails with attatchments.

It is not real...it is someone wanting your information so they can hack your computer. Delete it now or you will be sorry later.
