So my Gmail got jacked this weekend

[Rambis]

Now I am getting hundreds of emails asking if I emailed them a virus. I haven't even been on it since Friday am. I changed the password and am updating everything but I wasn't on the account when they were sent? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :argh:

1. Did you check your outbox -- you may have been spoofed

It's possible that someone didn't access your email account, but they're using your email address to send out a virus. It's still a good idea to change your password, as you have done, but your account may not have been compromised.

2. thinking about trashing the account

apparently another round just went out?

3. Okay -- but did it actually come from your sent folder (not outbox - apologies)? At this point...

I'd send out a blinded email to all your friends advising them to not open ANY mail coming from your old account and set up a new one. Sorry. I know this sucks.

5. Same thing happened to my hotmail account this weekend.

I think it's a worm that's using contact lists, so I wrote down the addresses in my list and deleted the entire contact list. I also changed the password.
