... or in any other way got access to it and sent (non critical) spam from it.
So first and foremost, if you got an unsolicited email from my gmail account this night, I do apologize. It probably only contains a link to a non existent document. If you can see any data / route / ip / trace in the email that could help me identify the source, kindly reply to me via this email.
I was under the impression that a) my google password is quite strong, and b) that I'm very selective with app or site I allow access to my gmail account.
The weird thing is the list of recipients they picked. It's a strange combination from people I've sent email to in the past, and people I follow on g+ (but did not send an email to).
They all exist in my gmail address book, and the only common denominator I found so far is, that none of them have a phone number in the address book entry... apart from that I have to draw a blank.
I also found the original email (not only the non-delivery replies) in my sent folder, so I looks like the email has really been sent through my gmail account (and not only with my email in from/reply-to).
Of course in the meantime I not only changed my gmail password, I also reviewed the web-apps and services that have access to my gmail, and will go through the apps on my iPad and Android phone.
Again, sorry... If you have any data to help, just pass it on.
