I've been curious what's going on with the Yahoo spam because the from name
that's been used has been someone I know, but the actual yahoo account the spam

determine the name of someone you know and then have an unrelated to that person
compromised account send the spam to you with a name you know. I've even
wondered if social networks are involved somehow.
