On the back of my posts on hard-drive failure and pass-phrases, I thought it might be worth launching a full-fledged series on "obvious" topics which may not actually be obvious to everybody.
Yahoo is a company that's been circling the drain for a few years now. Recently, it came to light that they lost a bunch of their user's data—possibly several years ago, without telling anyone.
I don't think Yahoo actually let you delete user accounts, but at this point, if you do have any old Yahoo email accounts lying around, you should probably just go and delete everything out of them; and then make sure none of the online services you use (Facebook, Twitter, etc) use a Yahoo address for identification.
Oh, and change your password too, I suppose. In any case, the moral of the story is, stop using Yahoo.
