Yup. Mine did a few months ago. I only used that address to sign up to message boards, but I did have my contacts list there. I found out there was a problem right away when our main e-mail account received a spam message from my yahoo account, which I knew I hadn't sent. I regained control of the account within minutes, changed the password, changed the security questions, deleted all contacts, and changed my message board address to another free web based account (not yahoo). I notified Yahoo as well, and I ended up shutting down the account not long afterward. Yahoo accounts had been getting hacked a lot during that time.
Lynx-lynx, I wish Yahoo
had notified me of the unusual activity. I've never been to Viet Nam. The activity was flagged on their website as being unusual, but my notification consisted of me being spammed by my own email account.
