I suppose that by 'security stamp' you mean the 'sign-in seal'. It's absence doesn't mean anything. If you recently ran a registry cleaner, it probably deleted cookies from all websites and totally cleared your browser of private data. You need those files to keep the sign-in seal on the Yahoo! login page. Create a new one. Data that has been deleted can't be recovered. Change the settings of your registry cleaner not to delete cookies.
If that's not the case then you are not on a legitimate site. You're in a phishing site that is out for your private info. Here's another red flag you can look out for. An illegitimate site will not display the message 'Create a sign-in seal' where the seal should be.

The security stamp probably depends on cookies to identify your PC, so if you have cleared your cookies or run any anti-spyware, security software, the stamp may disappear.
Also make sure you are at the right website. The security stamp doesn't show if someone else accessed your account, it shows that you are at the right website, not a fake website to steal your username/password.

No, it means you opened a fake login page that if you fill out somebody might get your ID and Password. Close it and try again.
