Apparently mine from 7-8 years ago was hacked and sending spam. First, I'm sorry to be spamming you. Second, the account has been inactive for years, aka out of my control.

Really not sure what to do. I changed the password on my current Yahoo account with another inactive email box.

Nice work, Yahoo.

I had so many random Yahoo accounts back in the day, addresses I wouldn't remember if you gave me a month to think about it. Thankfully I don't think any of them had my actual name on them. They were exclusively used for generating ebay accounts in order for a group of friends to continually bump up each other's ratings. It was a necessary evil back then.

If the hacked inactive account has a contact list, make sure you delete it.

There have been a number of other e-mail services that have been sending out spam. I just went and changed my passwords on them and the non-deliverable messages went away.
