Google account hacked

M-am bagat la somn pe la 7 dimineata; am avut de lucru toata noaptea insa la sfarsit eram bucuros: inboxul era aproape gol!

Dimineata … m-am speriat! Zeci de mailuri in care lumea ma intreaba daca sunt ok sau daca m-am reprofilat! diverse glume si cateva emailuri in care lumea si-a dat seama ce s-a intamplat si m-a compatimit.

Mesajul arata cam asa:

Hey
how are you recently ?
I would like to recommend you a very good company and the website is 「XXXXXXXXX」 .
It can offer you all kinds of electronic products ,such as laptops ,gps ,TV LCD ,cell phones ,ps3 ,MP3/4, and so on.
You can take some time to have a look ,there must be something you like .
Hope you can enjoy yourself in shopping from that company !
Regards !

Aparent, m-am decis sa vad ce fac toti prietenii si clientii mei (folosesc gmail cu multiple inbox … 4 adrese in acelas loc) si le-am transmit o recomandare pentru un site cu electronice.

Deci… ce mai faceti in ultimul timp? Bine huh?

Imi cer scuze pentru neplacerea creata; voi folosi “the force” si voi opri aceasta nebunie.

Numai bine,
Bogdan

UPDATE: Declar operatiunea spam contacts un ADEVARAT SUCCES! Prietenii, clientii de pe freelance, clientii de la uderweb si voluntarii letsdoitromania… toti au primit mareata oferta. Se da verde la electroniceeeeeeee
More gmail stories, all with China:

his worries me, but what worries me even more is: Did “they” have
access to my archived messages too, like “they” had access to my
contacts? That information is a lot more sensitive than just the
social graph.

It is very annoying – I have spent the last 3 hours trying to find a
way to report the problem and of course my (over 1000) contacts are
annoyed.
I did not lose my address book.
Have found at least 3 discussion groups and occurrences from April 2
and cannot believe it is still a problem

-

Happened to me yesterday.  I may ditch GMail over this, I am very
angry.  GMail saves everyone I have ever emailed without asking me in
a contact list that is hackable and then just tells me to “change my
password”.  This is outrageous.  It is a major security flaw they
should have plastered all over the signon page until resolved.

This happened to me May 28 3am while my PC was off. It seems from this
discussion that this has been happening for a while. If I can’t trust
that my e-mail is secure, then I’m going to have to ditch Gmail. It’s
a shame.

-

This happened to me. Some company based in China was able to send an
email to my entire contact list. I had over 800 contacts and some of
them were sensitive contacts. This was extremely embarrassing and
disturbing. I have no idea if my gmail account is compromised. I have
changed my password and secret question and scanned for all viruses on
my PC with no apparent dangers.

Lista e teribil de mare. Se pare ca China e pornita bine pe google.

Am verificat history la Firefox… nu am vizitat siteuri externe; ultimele zile au fost in pare localhost + 2-3 siteuri locale. Nu am virusi in PC (tocmai am rescanat). Am schimbat parola si secret question.

Singura chestie la care ma gandesc este Gmail de pe E71; ma loghez constant pe telefon. Chiar daca suna funny… cred ca am nevoie de un antivirus mobil.

FFS!
