Have you seen evidence that the mail was actually sent from your
account? it is common for spammers to send using bogus addresses in
the reverse path and in the header. If your have a sample of the spam
in question, look at the Received header fields to see whether it was
actually sent by yahoo.
Note: I'm not denying that yahoo has security and spam issues, just
noting that there may be an alternative explanation for what you've
seen.
