Not sure you were hacked.  I've been having problems with Yahoo! all day.  Tried logging in a bunch of times, said my PW was invalid.  Then it would try and log in, but just sit there.

Yahoo has a procedure for recovering lost passwords, but of course, it is not perfect.

In order for it to work, you have to have given Yahoo an alternate valid e-mail address when you initially set up your account; in which case, upon your report of a lost password, they will e-mail you a new random password.

If your account was really "hacked", then the person who did it can change your alternate e-mail address in your profile to one of his own, in which case, you won't be able to get that account back.

It is probably just a case of Yahoo having issues though, like Peale said.

My advice is stop using yahoo.  Spend the $$$ and register some domain.  Then you will have all the email accounts you want.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
