I decided to post my gmail address as part of my blog's upgrade last Tuesday. Within 2 days someone already tried to get in, and probably got in.

• Thursday. I received 4 "Google Password Assistance" mails on my secondary email account. All of those mails were sent Oct 02, 2008, between 5:46AM - 6:14AM. Someone must have "forgotten my password" and wants to retrieve it first thing in the morning.
• Friday. I checked the "Last Account Activity" of my gmail account. It says I logged-in from an IP not belonging to the ISPs of where I was that day: HP, Jollibee Trinoma, and here at home. Good thing I was still able to login, so I immediately changed my password to "!L0v3Y0uP!0!0".
• If you thought that was my new password.. geeshh..
  
• Checked Sent mails. Clean. Checked Chat. Clean. So far, I received no notifications from my contacts that I sent them something awful, like photos of the worst celebrity plastic surgery disasters, or something awful-er, like announcing i love Piolo.
  

Thought this might help you be aware that there are jerks out there who'd like to get into your mail, and there are tools available against this activity - those links and this link. Don't take your email's security for granted guys. You don't want to be locked-out from your googling lifestyle right?
