Gmail also hit by e-mail phishing scheme
CNET News
by Don Reisinger
Hotmail users aren't the only ones who've been hit by a phishing scheme over the past week. Google told BBC News on Tuesday that Gmail users have also been affected by the hackers who posted passwords online.
The problem is far more widespread than was disclosed on Monday, possibly affecting Yahoo and AOL e-mail accounts as well, according to BBC News.
Google described the issue as an "industrywide phishing scheme." BBC News said it has seen two lists posted online with "more than 30,000 names and passwords" from Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail, and other service providers.
"We recently became aware of an industrywide phishing scheme through which hackers gained user credentials for Web-based mail accounts including Gmail accounts," a Google representative told me in an e-mail.
The representative said that Google immediately "forced passwords resets on the affected accounts."
In an e-mail to CNET, a Google representative said that the company had to reset the passwords on fewer than 500 Gmail accounts so far. However, that figure could change.
Despite Google's and Microsoft's awareness of the problem, it doesn't seem that users are out of the woods just yet. Google's representative told CNET that it will continue to force password resets on any newly affected user accounts.
Like Microsoft, Google was quick to point out to the BBC that the phishing scheme was a "scam to get users to give away their personal information to hackers" and not an internal security issue. It didn't say how users fell victim to the scheme.
Google's admission that Gmail users were affected by the phishing scheme comes on the heels of Microsoft acknowledging that over 10,000 Live Hotmail accounts were compromised by the scam. The passwords apparently first hit the Internet on October 1.

Gmail, eBay, PayPal team to fight phishing
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - 11:59 AM EDT
Atlanta Business Chronicle
Atlanta Business Chronicle
Online auction house eBay Inc. and its PayPal subsidiary on Tuesday announced a collaborative effort with Google Inc.'s Gmail to fight fraudulent e-mail and phishing attacks.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay and PayPal (NASDAQ: EBAY) customers who have Web mail accounts with Mountain View, Calif.-based Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) "will receive fewer fake e-mails claiming to be sent by eBay and PayPal," the companies said.
"Through the use of DomainKeys and DomainKeys Identified Mail e-mail authentication technology, Google is able to prevent the delivery of fraudulent eBay and PayPal messages into Gmail users' inboxes. The initiative protects Gmail, eBay and PayPal customers worldwide," the companies added.
"The Gmail team's decision to work with eBay and PayPal on this issue is a significant step forward in our fight to keep consumers safe from phishing and cybercrime," said Michael Barrett, chief information security officer of PayPal.
DomainKeys technology adds another layer to spam and phishing protection by allowing Internet service providers to determine if messages are real and decide if they should be delivered to a customer's inbox.
"We're always looking for ways to eliminate unwanted e-mail from our users' inboxes," said Brad Taylor, senior staff software engineer in charge of Gmail's anti-spam efforts. "Phishing is an especially nasty form of spam, so we appreciate having another weapon in our arsenal against it. We're glad to be working with eBay and PayPal to protect our users."
