The link in question is on one of several extremely critical posts I've made about Yahoo and MelbourneIT's unethical business practices. MelbourneIT provides Yahoo's horrific domain registration services.

It’s such an unpleasantly well-crafted scam. A third of the American East Coast probably knows someone in Florida who might be expected to turn up dead; Florida’s got a lot of older folks and a very healthy crime industry. The victims jump to some conclusion as to who died, click on the link in a panic in hopes of confirming the omitted name, and get infected with whatever malware the site’s got.

Straight-up villainy. To add to the plausibility, they even used the name and address of a real funeral home, which has been getting panicked calls.
