why i keep getting this error message from my yahoo group?

 

This site can’t be reached

xa.yimg.com refused to connect.

Try:

• Checking the connection
• Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I get "not found on accelerator", you sure the short URL is correct?

 

Try connecting direct rather than via the shortened URL.

Searching the net, I found these 2 QUOTES

xa.yimg.com is an additional site connected to yahoo.com for a long time. Today all of a sudden it is popping up as a malicious website. I have attached error info.

Unfortunately it seems that someone is using their server, through groups, to spread phishing documents, you can check some of them here -

You're asking us to click on a link in your post? I'm not that trusting.

You can google xa.yimg and find the same info and more and then select whether you want to pursue any link or not.
