It isn't necessarily their account that was hacked. Suppose my account
was hacked and the hacker started looping through each name in my

apparently from people you don't know.
interesting thought; i checked the last three such Yahoo spams in my
"notable spam" folder; one of them was spoofed - not actually sent
through Yahoo; the other two of them were sent through Yahoo and have
right-looking Yahoo headers (though i haven't yet found a tool to check
DKIM on a received email)
worth noting: i've also had similar spam from acquaintances via Gmail
and AOL accounts, but with much less frequency
I'm just irked that Yahoo is F*&%%@# UP an email account I PAY FOR in
the name of stopping SPAM and I'm still getting SPAM from Yahoo.
