Warning to all Yahoo users

Check your emails to make sure they haven't been hacked. I've encountered several similar cases where people's accounts contact me on YIM managed by bots, and I have it on good ground to believe that here has been a sudden surge of hacks. Their messages will be read exactly as follows:

"

Message 1: Hey

Message 2: I just took an IQ quiz here.. pretty cool :P

Message 3: got a 113 lol... I thought I was smarter than that

Message 4: you should see if you can do better than me... *Link to malware site*

Message 5: try beating me... I bet you cant lol

Message 6: ill be back in a few after im all fresh

Message 7: brb, let me know your score when im back!

I noticed something was wrong when someone I only spoke to two times before (those times being very brief and over 3 years ago) responded when I asked them "Who are you?":

"	you dont even know me anymore? wow...

The bots are probably set to respond to very basic and common messages, though they don't stick around long enough for me to see what all possible responses are. If you have any information about this, contact Yahoo immediately and report infected accounts.
