I've been fortunate not to have my e-mail accounts hijacked, but one thing I've done to protect others in the aftermath of having received spam from the accounts of several people whose accounts have been hijacked is this:  simply copy your contacts list to a different location (I put mine into a Word document), then delete all of your contacts from Yahoo or whatever service you use. It's inconvenient to have to cut and paste addresses from the Word document, but I think it's worth the trouble to help avoid spreading spam. Who knows, if enough people deleted their contact lists, perhaps the spammers would find it less worthwhile to do what they do.
