Change your password.

My Gmail account was legit hacked once, and I stole it back because the person forgot to change the security question answer.

I was looking into this yesterday....

IT APPEARS that some other site was hacked, and the gmail accounts and the pwords associated with THAT SITE were acquired. I downloaded the 37mb text file that listed the gmail accounts and pwords, neither mine nor my wife's account were on that list.

Just FYI. (all of this could have changed since yesterday)
