   Hello All!   
      
   Some of you may have not, some of you might have..   
      
   Some China Man managed to guess or hack my password on GMAIL on Tuesday, using   
   the contact list on the WEB GUI, sent SPAM out to people in my contact list   
   and separate lists they call recent contact and most contacted. The email   
   appeared to come from me saying I got an Ipad and to visit a specific   
   website.. I even got one to my main email address. The English used was poorly   
   constructed.   
      
   I received several bounce messages, fortunately those folks had abandoned   
   those email addresses since the time I had used the Web GUI on a regular   
   basis, I almost exclusively use Gmail via POP3.   
      
   Poor Jeff Guerdat got spammed by my China Man!   
      
   I changed my password to a mixed case alpha-numeric combo, which should make   
   it harder to guess this time and I changed the lost password challenge   
   question.   
      
   I also deleted all the contacts, but if you have a web based email account,   
   check the strength of your password..
