    Hehe, I wish I saw this a few days ago before I went through the exact same thing :D Luckily I only had Zenbe IP in there so I found it pretty quick :)

    Good stuff, thanks. Btw, you can access Gmail more securely using https://gmail.com instead of http://gmail.com. I would highly recommend doing this, and if you ever use public wifi, make it a habit because otherwise people can copy your cookies and get access to your gmail account (I've done it to myself, its surprisingly easy.)

    Cheers Cyrus, I use the secure version all the time, but a surprising number of people don't. In a perfect world Gmail would always use it. Well actually, in a perfect world, we wouldn't need to secure our mail would we? And you say you hacked your own account? How long ago? Was the exploit fixed?

    Someone Jacked my Gmail and Changed the Sig BLock only to spam my entire contact list
  • joshnunn · 1 year ago
    How is that possible? What would changing the sig block do? Sounds nasty.

    same happened to me just some time ago.
    seomoz ip lookup showed the ip to be somewhere in the atlantic ocean, but the adress is registered by softlayer.com in texas.
    i kicked all connections and changed the password. hope that helps...
