Hijacked email help.?

I have recently received an email (actually many) from a known friend that definitely is not from her. I recognized it for what it was immediately. Spam. I then notified her of the problem.

I did an email trace and learned this latest email came from Philippines, Makati. What can I do as the recipient to report this? What can my friend, the 'sender' do? To whom do I ask to 'fix' this? Yahoo?

    Your friend needs to change her password so the person in the Philippines can no longer access her account. They can only send emails from her account if they know her password
