clubhouse Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Some people are saying that the *checking sites* may be phishing sites, be careful and I don't think any legitimate news sites have carried the story in fact I think google have said there hasn't any recent security breaches....here,,,,,http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/5-million-compromised-google-accounts-leaked.368061/Google report......http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/09/google-no-compromise-likely-massive-phishing-database/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darko999 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 My mail only appears on the first web site, but it looks like anything I put yells the same result, so I don't really think my account is compromised.In fact my account has not been loged in any other computer than mine, for me its google attempts to force people into giving them your cell phone number.

licurg Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 What if this 'leak' is a old trick to get users verify their accounts and put a full raster of user names and their real identities? Easier to monitor and control the 'flock', you know. I'm not an anti-gov paranoia syndrome sufferer or something. Just a thought crossed my mind. Sometimes the most plain thing, the easiest answer is the correct one. Occam's razor, right? Anyhoo, who's using gmail or yahoo as their primary email? Only duckfaces, I hope?
