My Gmail account was hijacked like this one time, and they immediately
disabled and locked the account. Required me to call a number and respond
to a text message (there were alternate processes) to confirm my identity
and unlock the account.

While this was kind of a pain, it also kept me from sending spam to my
friends.
It's a good thing, I'm *glad* they disabled my account so it wouldn't do
any more damage.

apparently Yahoo does none of that
