King Spamalot

It seems that last week, someone or something hacked my Gmail account and sent the following message to everyone in my contacts list:

Whilst this sounds like an amazing deal and is definitely something that I would urge people to do (but pay me instead of them) - I did not send it out. The message went to the first person in my contacts list with everyone else "Blind Carbon Copied" in after.

Unfortunately the message went to a couple of people that I definitely would not have wanted it to go to and I got some choice words back - but hey! It' not my fault - apologies to all.

Time to change all of my passwords and cull my contacts list methinks!
