Despite its humble beginnings, phishing has come a long way since those first crudely constructed emails. Today, phishing sites can appear and disappear in the length of a coffee break, and it takes more than a little know-how to keep your clients secure.

I would contact Yahoo customer support. Yahoo and hotmail are the most hacked emails on the planet. My recommendation is to create a passphrase that no one will guess and make sure not to use any password that could be easily obtained through public information. If you used the same password for facebook or other sites you better change those quickly too.

As yahoo customer support option is not working for me as during the recovery of account it is asking where is your mother born and i don't add such a question during the creation of account. So is there is any email id of yahoo where i can contact them.
You can contact Yahoo! directly by using the sign in and registration help form at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/general-01.html They're usually pretty good about helping people recover stolen accounts.
