My GMail Got Hacked
On April 20th, around Noon EST, my GMail account was hacked. Looks like it only lasted for about 5 minutes. They sent out 15 spam emails to everyone on my contact list. And then my account was disabled. I just got it reactivated following a verification process.
It was an account I don't use that often, so I didn't notice it until today. But I have used it for business in the past. So if anyone got a bunch of spams from my GMail address, I'm really sorry. Looks like it's a pretty widespread problem: Quote:

I notice that also because of many spams being receive from emails Google is too sensitive with that matter. I have one blog that has been shut down because it is spam? But I don't think it is since it is a corporate blog not an adult blog. Maybe Google is too sensitive with the matter.

I sympathize...that shit happened to me on my former gmail account and that's when I learned gmail's customer service is a lot like wal-mart customer service...pretty much non-existent. I was sent a questionaire from gmail that i answered all the questions and then they sent me an email saying they couldn't substantiate me as the owner of the account...long story short, i had to get a new account and now i'm much more cautious and have a crazy password that i can't even remember...i feel your pain...sorry to hear you were victimized at least it worked out for you
