Hi Yes my gmail account was hacked they must have guessed the p/w, although it was 12 chars long consisting of alpha's numerics and punctuation marks.
The mails were sent out at Sunday, June 13, 2010 10:29 PM ish. Luckily I was at home at the time so I was able to regain control quickly. Seems no harm was done apart from the bulk send to everyone of that email. The link in the email seems to be dead, or it was when I tried it on a Test Virtual machine I use to check such dodgy links. Sorry again for the inconvenience. Also take note, as I am quite careful about these things, they still managed to 'get in'. Take it as a warning in can happen to anyone, apparently gmail, hotmail and similar web based accounts are being targeted more and more.
