Very interesting to read all the different points on this. But just one
question, as someone who opened the e-mail but did not follow the link or go
onto the website or anything will I have exposed any of my information to these
potential hackers or not?? Just a bit concerned I may've done something very
stupid by even opening the e-mail. Any thoughts from those of you far more
experienced than me most welcome/appreciated.
Thanks.

Actually this one seems to be true. This leak has been reported by several
news outlets in the past several days.

No, emails like this are never legit, never.

Hi Andrew
I had exactly the same e-mail. I haven't tried the website, but share your
concerns completely. Could anyone else who is more in the know than me please
confirm if this was legit or not?? As with Andrew, I too am worried that I may
have revealed my address to a hacker.
Thanks.

Listers,
I think it was yesterday or the day before that I found among the messages from
the list an e-mail containing a warning of a possible leak of e-mail addresses
from gmail. The messaged contained instructions on how to check whether one's
e-mail was possibly compromised or not. The website to go to was is leaked.com.
As I saw no reference to this by any other member of the group, I now wonder
whether it was spam. Has anyone else received this warning? Is the website
isleaked.com genuine? I connected to it to check my e-mail address. It opened
in Russian and from there there was a link to the US version and Spanish
version and possibly others as well. I now worry that the whole thing was spam
and I may have revealed my address to a hacker.
I'd be very grateful to hear whether anyone else has been notified by this
e-mail of a possible theft of millions of gmail addresses.
Thank you.
Andrew
