Yahoo's email system was hacked into this month compromising the accounts of many Yahoo email users. The hackers, which are likely based in Russia, used the accounts of legitimate Yahoo email users to send spam messages. The March breach came after Yahoo's email accounts were hacked into in January, and Yahoo claimed to have fixed the problem. Apparently the suspicious log-ins came from mobile phones in various locations around the world. The FBI is investigating the hack.
