Hacked Gmail ?
8 Answers
I think my gmail account was hacked on xmas day :-(
I'm still getting failed send messages that make it look as if someone has managed to get into my account and spam out to random people on my address book. I went in and changed my password then logged out and back in again to make sure it worked (it did) but I am still getting the occasional 'delivery status notification', could this be a delayed response left over from before the point where I changed my password ?
I ran a full scan using the Microsoft Security Essentials I have installed (and up to date) and it found nothing.
Any advice?

What worries me is that amongst all the gobbledegook, it says it will try to re-send, that may p!ss people off, then I could lose them as contacts!
