yahoo email sending out spam.?

I check my yahoo email from my ipod. Once in a great while from my work computer. Recently I have noticed that on two different occasions in the middle of the night my yahoo account has sent spam out to people in my contact list. I have heard about hotmail doing this but not yahoo. I have never selected the check box to remain logged on when I close the browser. Any ideas why this is happening or more important how do I stop it?
