E-mail Account Hacked

So my Gmail account was hacked (my real one, not the e-mail address you see on this site).  As I've received e-mails from random people saying they got this random iPad spam from me, it dawned on me that all sorts of prospective employers from over the last five years received this e-mail from me.  Kind of weird.  Well, it's not like any of them were planning on sending me a job offer anyway.

But it's weird who decides to tell you that your e-mail has been hacked.  I just heard from two people I haven't talked to in roughly six months.  And these are people I actually want to keep up my networking with so it was nice to hear from them. 

So to all you unemployed people and/or job searchers, keep up with your networking.  If you can't come up with anything to say to the person you haven't talked to in a while, send a random spam mail and maybe they'll just get back to you.

And I guess I should recommend that you update your password and all that to stay ahead of the spoofing and stuff like that.
