Hi folks,
Got an important network security announcement I'd like to make as y'all
might get strange spam mails from your friends who use Gmail.
In the past two days two of my friends have had strange emails sent from
their Gmail accounts without their permission. Apparently spammers have
figured out how they can "hijack" accounts to send spam emails to an
unsuspecting person's contacts.
Google is aware of this issue and provides tools with which you can
monitor your account. Please see the following link on the "Google Blog"
for information on how to protect your account:
