I don't think it's difficult at all to forge an email from a Yahoo user.
And it'll even dutifully be marked as valid courtesy of Yahoo itself:

	Yahoo Says 1 Billion User Accounts Were Hacked                          
	http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/14/technology/yahoo-hack.html    

Please note that this is in addition to the earlier announcement
of 500M hacked accounts.

But hey, at least they got to do this:

	Yahoo breaks every mailing list in the world including the IETF's
	http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html

Yeah.  That was worth it.  Definitely.
