This is awesome!
So now, they are targeting mailing lists? So they can get the email id
- passwords in bulk.

Well, this is a phishing[0] attempt.

Whois result of the domain 'yahooservicemembers.com'
Registrant : Gregory Panzo ([email protected])

The service is hosted in Hong Kong.

The phishing page is not so impressive. You can give it a look, and
put some *fake* credentials.
Be sure, you are not giving the correct username-password.

And it will redirect you to actual http://login.yahoo.com.
