gmail Phishing Attack
There is a new fairly sophisticated Gmail Phishing attack in progress that we all should be aware of.
There is an email that opens what appears to be a Google Login. Once you log in to Google they will search your contacts and send similar emails to all of them.
Before you log in to a Google login box, scroll down. The page that loads has lots of whitespace but if you scroll down you will see other information beyond the Google login box.
You should also check the https in the URL at the top of your screen and the URL of the page that loads. This will look suspicious.
Be safe out there folks. If you see a Google login when you don't expect it, consider this to be an attempt to grab your login info.

Definitely make it a habit to never login to anything through an email. Always leave the email and go to the site directly through your browser. I've gotten emails like that before saying I needed to change my password and when I'd login to the actual site there was no such alert.
