No, and I covered that in the article. I was talking about attacks on stolen passwords hashes. An attack on an actual Yahoo server would probably bring up lots of red flags for the sysadmin, who would see the attack and quickly shut it down (blocking the IP, disabling the account temporarily, etc).
However, if Yahoo's database gets hacked, and your password hash is stolen, your password will get broken if it is not secure enough.
