Yes, it's an attempt to get you to disclose your login details. Just mark it as spam.

There's no 'old' version. The link will take you to a fake website. I've asked for the link to be removed.

@Ssqquare+eyez Sky emails should address you by first name which isn't the case here so I would be highly cautious about this email

@Ssqquare+eyez

Yes this is a scam email so mark it as spam and do the same if you are sent anymore. Any updates will be done by Yahoo/Sky and not by us customers.
