I really wish I knew how they got it. I’ll be honest and say although I’ve changed other passwords more often, I’d kept the same gmail password forever.

Ooh, then you could have turned it into a post about how to tell a friend that her email was hacked! Without her having a hysterical breakdown and throwing things.

Or am I the only one who’d react like that? You probably shouldn’t tell me if I am because I will deny that it’s true and let you know that you’re just saying it because you’re jealous of me, then I’ll throw my seat cushion at you.

I am very grateful I happened to see it before something embarrassing happened, like spamming my kid’s school mailing list or something.

I bet after they found out I have 2000, TWO THOUSAND Twitter followers, many of whom work as SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTS they knew they had to examine my files to see exactly how it’s done.

To be honest, if the settings for vacation autoresponder and signature weren’t on the same tab as changing the language back, I would have just assumed my kid changed the language…well, until people started asking me why the heck am I spamming for some Chinese electronics site.

That is really odd – especially because you have a strong password. Or you have very clever children. I am always hoping to receive email that says “Hope you have a good mood in shopping from their company !” but, alas, I never do.

For what it’s worth, if I had gotten that message from you, I would have known it wasn’t you who sent it.

Thanks for the post. You’re lucky you discovered that had happened. I don’t know how long it would’ve taken me to figure it out, but now I know what to look for.

Yikes – that sucks! Well, obviously aliens came down while you stepped away for a minute and they futzed with your email. They’ve been wanting to get inon the whole network marketing social media thing they keep hearing about. Stoopit aliens.

Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn’t know what to do if that happened. Now at least I have an idea.
