Trust me, there's a new batch of compromised accounts of the past few 
days that utterly dwarfs any of the previous yahoo security failures.

I usually see 1 or 2 of my clients with compromised web mails per year. 
  But almost all the yahoo ones are now hit in a matter of days.
One of them didn't even know she had webmail.  Her computer was set up 
with Thunderbird (pop) and that's the only way e-mail was ever 
accessed... so that rules out the usual cross site XSS exploit most 
people are assuming this is.
