Yahoo keeps asking me to change my password?
And I already changed it 6 days ago because I believe my yahoo email was hacked. It sent everyone in my address book a fake email from me with a link to click on. So I changed my password and 6 days later yahoo is saying it needs to be changed again. I'm wondering if it is someone trying to get my new password.

How to tell if it's really from Yahoo or it's a phishing scam to hack your account
1 - ALL emails regarding your account will be from an @cc.yahoo-inc.com address, NEVER @yahoo.com or anything else
2 - ALL emails regarding your account will ALWAYS have a purple Y! logo to the left of the message in your Inbox. If there is no purple Y! logo in your Inbox, it's a scam
3 - ALL emails regarding your account will always address you by your actual name (Dear Jane), never a generic greeting (Dear Customer, Dear Yahoo Account Holder, Dear Valid User, etc), your email address (dear janedoe@yahoo.com) or no greeting at all
4 - Yahoo will NEVER ask for any personal details, username or password in an email and will never ask you to click on a link. The ONLY time you are asked for personal info is when you first set up your account
Mark as Spam so it gets reported to Yahoo and they can shut down that account
