Answer:
I sure wouldn't want it to happen to me. I am going to "Copy & Paste" the link from an article in a computer magazine, talking of the effort to heavily breach Yahoo's security. Not to make you afraid, but maybe you should take some further precautions. Link http://www.scmagazineus.com/Rampant-brute-force-attack-against-Yahoo-Mail/article/149373/ Rampant brute-force attack against Yahoo Mail Angela MoscaritoloSeptember 21, 2009 Do you use a wireless router ? Is your computer, with you signed in to your email, unattended ? Check into security and see what you can do to protect yourself in the future. I don't know about now - what can be done, but I think that there is a lot of expanded information at the bottom of every email. I would NOT open one of these bad emails, but I would surely find out how to send it on to Yahoo Security for them to handle. I don't know how, but there must be a way. Good luck. Be careful.

Change your password. Change it to something no one knows. Make it very difficult, with numbers and letters. Then, don't tell anyone your password. That will solve the problem in future. But now that someone has your contact list, there's nothing you can do.

How do you...how do they view your contact list? You can do that? And for that someone...do you know who it is? There really...well, its not going to be easy to get them to stop viewing your contact list (however you do that). Like, block them or something?
