My concern is security. If some spammer has access to my address book and can send spam spoofed from friends and associates' email address what else do they know; SS numbers, CC numbers, bank accounts, passwords???
Well, that depends on where the breach occurred, of course. If the spammer harvested an address book (or just grabbed From addresses) from the Yahoo server, then that's all they have. But if they had full access to your computer (as a Mac, not likely) ... or if they had full access to your friend's computer (as a PC, quite quite likely) then all bets are off... Once you have access, it's trivial to grab up turbotax files, cookie databases, etc.
