How can I tell if my Yahoo account has been hacked?

I am concerned that my account got hacked. I left a browser page open and logged into my yahoo account overnight and when I come back to it in the morning, there is an error screen telling me that I have been logged out because yahoo accounts cannot be logged in to different pc's at the same time. If I have been hacked, is there anything I can do to secure my account without deleting it?

Update:

Apologies..I should have said that the password was changed immediately.

    I consider 'sniff'. Nomatter what you do yahoo would not help regrettably. My bills have been hacked into countless situations and so has my daughters. i'm commencing as much as ask your self whether that is an interior activity with a number of their much less dependable workers. because of the fact that is got here approximately way too many situations. i individually like being on yahoo ...that is super. super communities,webtools,messenger, the yahoo seek engine is even super....yet whilst it includes getting help....they are no help in any respect. I certainly have an account from 8 years in the past that i won't sign into because of the fact somebody hacked my account and altered the call and handle and password. And yahoo asked me those products and my solutions have been incorrect so they could no longer enable me lower back into my account. All my complicated artwork on my yahoo web site became into for no longer something. at present my daughters account became into hacked into and the pervert even Imed her on yet another of her identity's and instructed her he hacked into her account! and then he talked pornographic to her.....Yahoo has no longer helped me with this the two. no longer yet in any case. He in basic terms used her final call in his profile! i don't have those problems with AOL. I used to love yahoo greater valuable than something....
