25th Compromised Account

Went to watch some videos at liveleak this morning. Just a sec after i click on one video, chrome acted weird. So i close the browser. Then I tried to sign into gmail using chrome. So i key in my username and password. Then this message pop out below username and password "Required field must not be left blank". I knew something is not right with this webpage as usually if you entered wrong password for gmail, this message will only appear below the password, not the username. And so my initial thought was that chrome was infected by trojan, hence i use IE to log into my account and I did succeed. To be safe, I quickly added a secondary email into my account in which the new password will be sent to if something happens. Few minutes later, I tried to sign in using IE again, but this time, the password has already been changed by someone else. So i reset the password and use a more difficult combination.


Later on when i google "hacked gmail account" and I only realize that I might be a victim of phishing. The fake website was an attempt to get my username and password. That might just be a possibility. If i acted slower, I might have lost every account associated with google, including this blog.

Skype 4.1 is disastrous. Switching back to 3.8
