No hijack required. It's just a matter of spammers using a disposable 
email address and joining lots of Yahoo! groups then spamming them quick 
before they get booted off.

Tedious but a weakness of open membership subscription. Mods can't tell 
who is going to spam, just from their email address.

AV software won't help with this particular annoyance. An airstrike on 
spammers homes would.

I don't know if there's a mod, but forwarding any spam to abuse@... 
will get the spammer's account trashed quite quickly.
