Just when Gmail had its issues 3-4 days back there was another major problem which in the beginning went unnoticed but now is on the front page!!!This is something which could affect any Gmail User . Please be careful when you click on any link given to you by your friend . The link may not have been sent by your friend its probably because your friend fell for the viddyho scam . Recently many google chat users received links ( some from their own friends ) which goes to a service called viddyho . This is a complete scam!!
Apparently it opens a page which looks just like the google login page and it asks for your Gmail username and password , which once given can cause havoc!!Your friends would be spammed with the same links(links are usually tinyurl links) and it could spread further .
So please avoid this , and since you are asked to give both username and password , those accounts can be misused in many other ways !! So please do stay away from any suspicious links given through your friend's accounts.. If he/she sends you a link first verify from your friend asking him/her whether he/she actually sent that link or it was done by viddyho or any other virus for that matter.
If you think you are already a victim of this then please change your Gmail password IMMEDIATELY!!! . Many computer experts have fallen for this as well!!!So do be careful!!
I just tried opening viddyho.com and its currently blocked and reported for web forgery!!So spread the word around so that nobody's accounts would be misused!!
