I came to know about it when one of my friends started enquiring about this company. I was shocked and requested him to forward the same mail to me. I also checked my sent mails and could see many such mails from my account. I immediately changed my password. Still, people were receiving above message as attachment of my mail.


I was little disturbed because message continued to go to all my friends. Out of frustration, I checked settings of my Gmail and found that hacker inserted this message as my signature and vacation notice.


Now, I have changed both. Check your setting and avoid embarrassment.


Take care ..... Good Day
