It could be, but I think it's improbable. If I'm not mistaken, gmail authentication is done over https. To hack that, a man in the middle must provide you with forged SSL certificates. That's not impossible, and is in fact relatively easy to do (google "ssh man in the middle", sshmitm). It's just that I find it too sophisticated just to send spam. And if they are spying on you, why send spam then? Most likely, a weak password(how many characters?), or a gmail vulnerability. > > the timing is strange.
