if you checked your email using 3G on your phone then it is probably that, as using your 3G would have a different IP address than your home wifi and would therefore flag up a warning.

but yahoo was hacked and 450,000 passwords were stolen, even though I doubt it will be something to do with that, but there is no harm in playing it safe and changing your password, after all better to be safe than sorry.
