Thumbs down My Email Account(s) compromised ...


I've dealt with a few people on this forum over the years - And last night my main (Oldest) Gmail account was accessed by someone else.

As far as I can tell - they only used it to send out SPAM to my contacts at this point , but I am in the process of changing Every password on every account that matters to me across the web.

Other than some of you possibly receiving some BS Spam from my account, No one else should be affected. I won't be mentioning the actual email account(s) hit - But do apologize if anyone who knows me was spammed from my account(s).

I've got to hit Paypal twice and several registrars now ( Changed my NP password first )

Don't change your passwords from your pc. Scan for viruses, trojans and keyloggers first.

I already have scanned etc ... And it took me about 4 hours to gain access to my gmail/google accounts. I've checked login logs at several places , It really does seem that they only used it to spam so far. All things considered - I'm happy with the minor problems so far.

(BTW - Anyone depending on MSN products to rid your PC's of spyware etc ... - Don't kid yourself. Since they have started profiting from Yahoo traffic , They will not find/remove certain stuff.
Why remove it if they are now profiting from it ?)
