Hey Guys,
The other day, I was busy chatting with my friends in gmail...and one of my closest friends has pinged me a tinyurl link that says"https://tinyurl.coms/albct9eee"
I was curious enough to click this link and it appeared to be a request from my friend to view her videos...more curious I entered my gmail details (id and password) and...Ooopss!!... forget about the video..I could be no longer be visible in gmail...and I found out that I have been logged into some other browser on some other system and all my friends have recieved similar messages and neither of them can be visible!!!!.
My bro has clients in his gtalk list...and it would have been greater mess if he had clicked on the link...luckily he is much much smart than I am...he quickly closed the link....(thank God!!! ;))..
So I tried some help from Mr.Google and I could only think of remote logging out....
I did the following steps :
check the link:
http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/remote-sign-out-and-info-to-help-you.html
it tells you how to remotely sign off...
step 1: at the bottom of your inbox page it shows details of how much time u logged in with ip address.
step2: click on details
step 3: click on sign out all sessions.
step 4: log out and log in and change ur status message to invisible ...if u succeed ..u have logged out that virus link which says u are in gtalk....
step 5: change ur passwords
please comment if you have a better way of handling this.....
Thanks
Kavita
