My vote with spoofed sender. You're the random victim of a Joe Job. Someone with your name in their address book or inbox had a compromised PC that scraped your addy and pasted it into the spam. Your account was probably not compromised, but it's good you changed your password anyway.
The IP resolves to a PTR record that appears to be an ISP customer in Brazil. Probably a compromised PC that's being used as a spambot.

I just hate it when people don't BCC when they email crap to their whole address book and leave all the previous addresses in the email. -- The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. -- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
I am so seriously getting away from yahoo so I can empty the contact folder. Some how it got into the yahoo system because I just don't see any intrusions on my system. I looked at my ADATA security logs and Windows logs nothing in there. It was embarrassing this morning. Two people opened that email and link and those two happen to be employers who I contract with. Had to sent a sorry email. I'm so changing to a private paid email. And no contacts in yahoo web portal.

reply to neftv I've read about way too many problems with Yahoo mail of late. I don't have it, but know several who have changed from Yahoo mail just last week. Strange things going on with them too and they would rather not deal with it any more.
