The following is a copy of chat I have had a few minutes ago.
"R: have you had any suspect emails from me today?
14:25 me: No,
14:26 R: if you get anything from me be careful opening it as an email went from my account at 8:45 this morning that I did not send
have changed password
14:27 gmail made me change it saying there was suspicous activity on the account
14:28 me: so they told you about it?
who did it go to?
14:29 R: yes tried to log in and they asked me to change password
seemed to go to a few people from the club
14:30 me: That's good that they picked it up
14:31 R: yep off back to work
me: ok, "
It's good that gmail picked up on this. I thought Gmail were safe!
