Is it just me, or is there a rash of hacked/spoofed Yahoo email accounts?

I've been getting emails with friends' names on them at least once every two or three days. They all start off with "Hey, this is really exciting" or something like that and I immediately trash them. Go one from "Apple" again today saying my password had been changed and i should click on a link to let them know if it was me.
Old password still works.
