Year 2000:
Created yahoo email account.
26 Sept 2015:
15 of my contacts (out of 100) received an email from email address xxx@unesp.br (spam). Link was ".php"
I also received same email too into my Yahoo account (from which contacts originated).
It is embarrassing for contact "A" to know I have email contact with contact "B". Obvious statement but worth stating nonetheless.
27 Sept 2015
I changed my password and deleted all contacts/addresses on my Yahoo account.
2nd Oct 2015
Once again, same 15 contacts (and me) received spam from email xxx@abc. (this time different email address).
I can live with spam but my contacts being emailed to each other, so to speak, is worrying.
What to do ?

Re: Email Hacked or Virus or ?
More likely you allowed some time earlier to access your mbox (so it scanned the emails and harvested the addresses) or to a contact list by some applications.
If this is the case you can't do anything. The list is already out of your hands.
