<p><a href="http://www.rj-diamond.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gtalkviddyho.jpg"   ><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="gtalk-viddyho" border="0" alt="gtalk-viddyho" src="http://www.rj-diamond.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gtalkviddyho_thumb.jpg" width="342" height="390" /></a> </p>
<p>The link points to a website called ViddyHo, which invited users to submit their Gmail usernames and passwords.&quot; </p>
<p><a href="http://www.rj-diamond.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/viddyho.jpg"   ><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="viddyho" border="0" alt="viddyho" src="http://www.rj-diamond.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/viddyho_thumb.jpg" width="335" height="218" /></a> </p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; When users entered their credentials the information would be logged and the email account would be compromised. If you think you may have been subjected to this attack it is advised you change your password immediately. The attack was not immediately picked up by Google either because it did not use conventional means. By using the Gtalk client it bypassed the Gmail filters completely.</p>
