Yahoo has recently been hacked and 450,000 accounts have had their email address AND password published in clear text.
Please check your account urgently at http://dazzlepod.com/yahoo/ and if
yours is listed please change your password as soon as possible."
I initially thought that the dazzlepod website was some sort of
phishing thing, but it seems that yes, a number of acccounts from
Yahoo! have been leaked:

The dazzlepod site lets you type in your email address (or even
better, part of your email address), and you can check to see if yours
appears in the search result.
It seems that the service that was hacked is Yahoo! Voices, so if you
didn't use that service, I'm guessing you won't be on the list.
