Five dollars says one of two things happened...

One, she opened an attachment or went to a site and had a keylogger installed on her machine.

Two, she went to a site she believed was yahoo e-mail but it was infact a fake site to record her password.

Other (less likely) possibilities include yahoo saving her password in a cookie, and a packsniffer on her computer and her password being sent out unencrypted.

/these assume she was actually hacked and not that she forgot to log out.
