Cool, where's this mystery link go when I click on it?

Lately, I've been getting a lot of spam from Yahoo email accounts... including from people I know who have Yahoo email accounts. It is incredibly easy to hack a Yahoo email password if it's not a "strong password." Also, I believe Yahoo had its security (cough) breached and a bunch of passwords fell into the hands of bad guys (and perhaps bad girls... but probably not bad girls.)

tl;dr - Make sure all your passwords are strong passwords!

Whoa, that's a hard read. Let me make it easier for you.
