I haven't been able to access my yahoo account for 2 months now.:(
It says to set a new password and asks me my secret questions and answers and takes me all the way to you are good to go and then nothing.
I've had that email hacked about 6 times too. Where yahoo locks it down but you could reset your pw not any more.
Interestingly the new threat out seemed to only affect yahoo and google. I don't think they are rivals I think they are getting in bed together real soon.

YAHOO RESPONSE:"As soon as we became aware of the issue, we began working to fix it... and we are working to implement the fix across the rest of our sites right now." Yahoo Homepage, Yahoo Search, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Food, Yahoo Tech, Flickr and Tumblr were patched. More patches to come, Yahoo says.
GOOGLE RESPONSE:“We have assessed the SSL vulnerability and applied patches to key Google services.” Search, Gmail, YouTube, Wallet, Play, Apps and App Engine were affected; Google Chrome and Chrome OS were not.*Google said users do not need to change their passwords, but because of the previous vulnerability, better safe than sorry.
