  • atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can't get the article.

    I got one recently on Gmail.
  • mrpackrat42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got one two days ago, so I don't think it has to do with 06-06-06. IIRC, the originating IP address was in Germany.

  • qwickone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got one of these today too. I was watching my Sent mail all day to make sure someone hadn't figured out my password and was sending out emails.
