Did your Gmail account get hacked?

Sat Jan 16, 2010, 2:46 AM


If you're using Gmail you might wanna check if you are being able to log into your account normally. Because apparently "China" has hacked Google. Google is saying that hacking their system, and getting through all their security measures is so difficult that they believe that even the Chinese goverment may be involved in this.

And the way they were able to hack them was through a bug in Internet Explorer. Microsoft has admitted this and are working on the bugfix they believe should be out in February.

:wtf:

When I tried logging into my Gmail accout yesterday I got a message saying that some suspicious activities have been going on in there and that I have to change my password.

Did anyone of you get this sorta message?

Anyways just thought I let you guys and gals know. Cause I certainly got a little shocked when I read this.

  • Mood: Wow!

Haven't got anything about it yet, but thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to keep checking back on it.

Nope, I log everyday in gmail and no message has appeared on my screen.

But lately some spam has sent to me... reminding me to House because they were of "vicodin" xD [I know it has no conexion with the poll topic... ]

My friends' got hacked, but theres really weird evidence surrounding it...her best friend said she told this kid how to get into her account and that he got in, but the kid denies it and the emails she's been getting from the hacker are definitely not him...it's odd. :noes:
