There is other ways to take people's id's other than phishing. I am not going to go into detail about how, but there is both ways and programs people use to figure out another person's password. And the seal is only meant to protect you from Phishing by creating a seal which you choose on your computer, which is why i find it hard to believe they could duplicate that seal.
But if you insist they can do this, as a warning to all: Always look at the link in your address bar to make sure it says Yahoo!. Also a geocities site does not require log-in, so do not log-in unless you are trying to access your page.

The seal doesnt prevent password theft.So if there are more ways to steal passwords by the flaws Yahoo! has,WHY doesnt Yahoo! do anthing about it?
