What does you make think that all targeted persons are criminals?
Collected data can also serve to blackmail or to discredit someone.
Industrial espionage and political leverage are also part of the business area.

Yahoo probably has the most spammers. They hijacked original accounts.
I've seen spam purportedly from me, but I never used Yahoo for personal reasons. It was for groups, forums, and spammers.

Have had to change password a couple of times in the last year per Yahoo's request.

Also, Yahoo is recycling passwords if anyone knows how many.
