Check it out before you do anything rash. If you sent the warning to
anybody, be sure and let them know about the update, too.

There are many genealogy sites at Yahoo/Geocities
If you have your site there, Yahoo/Geocities stole your site and
declared them their own. Including your copyrights and refusal to pay
royalties to you.
Feel free to circulate this message to other lists not receiving this
alert.
