I don't think it's been hacked. This is almost surely the result of a huge problem that Yahoo has been dealing with. See http://www.pcworld.com/article/2079440/yahoo-mail-still-down-for-some-users-after-an-attempted-fix.html.

If you think your account has been hacked, you can follow these steps: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD_ACCT&page=content&id=SLN3516.
