I just read an article about the NSA collecting email contact lists that had an interesting blurb about yahoo email. It's a political story so I won't give the link here, but here's the blurb:
It is unclear why the NSA collects more than twice as many address books from Yahoo as the other big services combined. One possibility is that Yahoo, unlike other service providers, has left connections to its users unencrypted by default.
My yahoo accounts have been hacked a few times, and if they are unencrypted that would explain it.
