I apologize for having such a condescending tone.
Quite honestly, the hacking your making reference to is something that I don't believe anyone on this site would be capable of. Hacking Yahoo! or Gmail is a huge feat, and there is no how-to. Plus with their active security algorithms and monitoring would mean you would have to have extremely fast equipment and a big toolbox of hacks.

I did assume you were meaning that Yahoo!'s services were lacking quality, and I am sorry for making such an assumption.

Also, I know it may be a pain to change the passwords for those services but I've seen this before. People hate to change their passwords even once they are compromised, but a compromised password is useless and you will only further your problems by keeping it.
