a question for the collective.

A friend gives me a heads up one of my wifes gmail addreses sent him two emails with a link to goes to god only knows. So I check the sent of that email and it sent out a shit load of them but not to her whole address book around midnight. Now the weird thing is I checked the ip activity on gmail and it shows nothing weird. Im running malware scan now. Any thoughts?

The computer was shut off when this happened, It happened around 12:47 am and it had been off for a couple of hours.

It has nothing to do with malware most likely. Just change your (edit:) PASSWORD and you should be cool.

99.9% chance someone got your password from some other list they bought / stole / hacked online. Once they find out that you were [email protected] with a pass of 12121212 on pornworld.com they try those strings on yahoo, gmail, facebook, myspace, twitter, etc.

Change the gmail address? Changing the password wouldnt be enough but then there was no weird ip activity and the system was off.

Would you use the same password ANYWHERE? Adult membership, adult affiliate program, free tube site or anything mainstream at all?

I remember when this happened to me. All my business contacts, my lawyer, cpa, et-cetera received an email from me on how to increase their penis size. It was the first and only time I ever logged in on a public wifi. Lesson learned.

No problem. I'd keep an eye on the sent folder but I'd be surprised if it keeps happening. The emails that got sent were probably something like "Hey (friends name), I tried this new diet and it really worked. I figured you might want to read about it."

There is a chance you have something on your end but that wouldn't explain the no IP logged in. You said the computer was offline when the email was sent, does it show your IP logged in at that time or just nothing? Should show your IP if they just took over your computer.
