There is all sorts of hacking going on. But it makes absolutely no
sense at all to go onto a strange web site and ewpose oneself to further
hacking. Common sense dictates that one can simply change passwords by
logging into legitimate web sites, in this case the Gmall site.
Furthermore, hackers take every advantage of news stories like this
to tap into yet more unsuspecting accounts.

Actually this one seems to be true. This leak has been reported by several
news outlets in the past several days.

No, emails like this are never legit, never.

Hi Andrew
I had exactly the same e-mail. I haven't tried the website, but share
your concerns completely. Could anyone else who is more in the know than
me please confirm if this was legit or not?? As with Andrew, I too am
worried that I may have revealed my address to a hacker.
Thanks.

Listers,
I think it was yesterday or the day before that I found among the
messages from the list an e-mail containing a warning of a possible leak of
e-mail addresses from gmail. The messaged contained instructions on how to
check whether one's e-mail was possibly compromised or not. The website to
go to was is leaked.com.
As I saw no reference to this by any other member of the group, I now
wonder whether it was spam. Has anyone else received this warning? Is the
website isleaked.com genuine? I connected to it to check my e-mail
address. It opened in Russian and from there there was a link to the US
version and Spanish version and possibly others as well. I now worry that
the whole thing was spam and I may have revealed my address to a hacker.
I'd be very grateful to hear whether anyone else has been notified by
this e-mail of a possible theft of millions of gmail addresses.
Thank you.
Andrew
