eBay Teams up with Yahoo! Mail to Fight Phishing

Yesterday eBay announced that Yahoo! Mail has signed on to eliminate bogus emails appearing to originate from eBay or PayPal before they are ever delivered to the intended recipient. According to eBay’s corporate blog, all emails actually sent by eBay or PayPal now have a digital signature (some code that spammers cannot replicate). Yahoo! Mail will scan each incoming email purporting to be sent from eBay or PayPal and will not deliver the message unless an authentic digital signature exists.

eBay states that this functionality only currently works on Yahoo! Mail although they hope to form similar partnerships with other internet service providers in the future.
