Hacked into Gmail, FriendFeed and Twitter

Someone hacked into my social media sites through my Gmail account in the early hours of 21st November. The reason I know is that messages were sent through my Google Talk account to FriendFeed. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but I use my Gmail and Google Talk accounts to write on my blog, my Twitter and my FriendFeed accounts.

I've since read some stories on various blogs about security holes in Gmail, and wondering whether to unplug my social media accounts from Gmail before it happens again. Anyone else had this happen?

Happened to me, but through Wordpress connection to my social media accounts and they got into my blog and injected script into my MySQL DB. Since that happened I have separated my accounts from any auto-updating.

Also, after talking to some folks I also NEVER input my username/password into any add-on services, most notably all those Twitter services or even Facebook Friend Finder...those things will get you eventually.

Sorry to hear Drew, but glad you caught it quickly.
