Thanks for the heads up. Would you please click on that web address and report back to tell us what it is?

My online Gmail account has been hacked. It has been secured now, but I
suspect an e-mail has been sent out to every mail address in my online
address book.

I don't know how this happened or how Google can be so slack about this.
But happen it has. If anyone receives an e-mail from 'me' with only a
single web address on it, with the solitary sig line 'Mike Dickson,
Edinburgh' then delete it.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Mike
