Had you ever assigned a special question to your account that only you will know the answer?
It is clear to me that you have probebly use the same password for both your Facebook account and your Email.
You can go
here and declare your account compromised. It will ask you for your Yahoo ID and to copy the provided code into the block provided.
Sometimes Yahoo mail servers are comprimised by spam hackers for spam use so don't go accusing you ex's mother just yet.
It would be a good idea to open a new account and tell all the people who you had in your contacts that your Yahoo account has been compromised.
There was a recent scam where hackers were hijacking accounts and sending mails to all your contacts claiming to be you and telling them to deposit large sums of money into a certain account as you are stranded in Nigeria.
With this in mind:
1) Declare your account compromised
here.
2) Delete your old account.
3) Create a new account.
4) Assign security questions that
ONLY you would know the answers to. (This is a major way in preventing this from happening again)
5) Send emails to all of your contacts that you had in your old account telling them of the compromisation and to ignore
ALL emails from your old account.
Your rating for this solution is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
