Trust me David I normally dont just click carelessly. Am still puzzled coz I was also pretty sure gmail was safe from such. Unless I have some mass mailing malware on my laptop. On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 10:28 AM, David Mugo <raidarmax@gmail.com> wrote:

Do you have a copy of the said spam mail? If so, you couls search on the net using words from the mail and you might just land a vulnerability. You could forward the same and let us see if we can help ./Ok3ch On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 10:31 AM, Jimmy Thuo <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> wrote:

All you need to get one's password is a key logger/phishing site, whether your password is simple/complex, compromise is simple... Change your password, it should solve the problem... On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 10:49 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
