Can I be rude and ask how/who hacked it ? I use gmail for everything other than work and SWMBO uses it as well (mobile), like most people half your lifes passwords are on there !

Allie had her GMail hacked into from someone in China a good few months back, we can only assume they were trying to get at her WoW account details.

She changed her password and hasn't had anything since.

The email sent went to about 10 peeps in my address book. Some link about cheap meds in the us. I have changed loads of passwords because of this.

Could be spoofing... unless you know these ten people?

I could imagine Hotmail being hacked, that's MS for you, but Google? Ha e you been hit by a virus or suchlike recently?

Hi Claw, I am guessing someone just hit my password. All changed now, it is like fort knox and no that is not the password......................honestly it is not
