The spam like this via Yahoo! seems to have stopped.
That's not my impression. It's not as bad as it was a year ago, but I've
seen the odd spam email from compromised account, and it's almost always
Yahoo. Just this week, I received three on my Gmail account.
My cousin's account has been hacked twice in the last month.. despite her changing her password in between, so she's dumped Yahoo completely. I'm also on a couple of Yahoo Groups, and predictably people use Yahoo mail - I should say /other/ people :) Barely a week goes by when one of them isn't compromised.
