I did also fill in the gmail adress. My email adress was not on the list of hacked gmail adresses. So nothing happened. Usually i never do this, but was curious. If it had bin a hacker site, they probably would say that my adress was on the list. So this time, i think we are good to go. In general, it is wise to not mess with emails that want your adress, password or something. Not even PayPal or your bank will ask for this in emails.

I thought since it came through macvisionaries it was probably believable. I was too silly to think that. So please don't rub it on.

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.

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.

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.
