It's just 1 day the exams are over and things already started to pounce on me! Everything went well for yesterday, a great evening spent on my good friend Mukul's place. I chose to wake up a bit early today just to surf the web before everybody catches on and start to crowd my timeline. And nothing out of usualness, I checked my GMail account for new mails only to find myself in FUD as GMail clearly stated "We believe your account was recently accessed from Israel.” “Holy shit! WTF!”, I almost shouted. I didn’t use a simple password for my account for a really long time, so how did this stuff happen to me?
Today I checked the warning msg and it confirmed that my account was accessed by 'israel' 23 hours ago which is around the same time that I discovered my account was hijacked.
I don't believe it is fringe at all or at least in some cases such as my own. Just to note another issue I found was that this person got my account info and logged into some of my social bookmarking sites accounts and posted the same links such as online pharmacy sites etc.
I had to go into those sites and change my password and delete the bookmarks this person made.
