Gmail incident

[DrVirus]

Hey guys, guess what ? A few minutes back I was trying to open my regular gmail a/c. But for some reason they wont let me. Kept telling me about detecting some suspicious activity from it. So they made me provide my cell number, in which they sent me a verification code after which I was told to reenter my password and then change it in order to access my account !!

Weird hah ??

Even weirder was that, once I got inside I found a ton delivery failed messages. It seemed that who or what ever tried to break in, also tried to send a link to all the people in my mail list. But google blocked it !

Now this is not an account I rarely use. Infact I log in it every day. Sometimes more than once. All my years using gmail I never had this problem before ! What do you guys think about it !

And if any one wants the link they were trying to send through me, I still have it copied. But only trusted members !

scroll down to your gmail account and look for where this is written:

Last account activity: 5 hours ago on this computer.

click on that link (details).and check if you will know what you will do with their ip addresses.

And always learn how to clear some private data of your browser after browsing for safety sake.

were the failed mails blocked on the outgoing side or were they rejected on the incoming side (the recipient's mail servers)? in the latter case check the mail headers, you should be able to see the original sender, this way you can also check if the mails really have been sent through your account or if they are backscatter mails (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28e-mail%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
