The hack was to an Associated Google Apps BIZCARD.com account. As you all might know, you can join different accounts to send FROM in Gmail. BIZCARD.com (AmericanBusinessCard.com) is a firm I contracted with 3 years ago and left abruptly due to health issues. Repeated requests to remove the email address from their Google Apps fell on deaf ears.
Like many in this ecomony, BIZCARD had insufficient technical staff for the workload. Hacks are (unfortunately) the result of this poor economy. Even though we as systems administrators, developers and engineers carry the load for entire technical internet startup companies, we are often the first to be overtasked, underpaid, and outsourced.
