I was reading Brian Krebs' "Security Fix" blog at  http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/  and his article about a Gmail chat "invitation" [ http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/02/just_say_no_to_gmail_viddyho_v.html ] caught my eye(I am an avid Gmail user). Krebs writes:

"A crazy number of readers have written in asking what they should do about unsolicited instant messages coming in from their Gmail accounts. The messages are from a site called ViddyHo urging them to "check out this video." I hope most readers will recognize the link provided in this chat invite for what it is: An invitation to give your Gmail credentials over to criminals......"

I checked out the Google Trends page for"ViddyHo" and sure enough Google has issued a warning, and it has gotten Blogger/media attention.

Today's Tech Tip: Do not pay attention to unsolicited, strange looking communications(Emails, IM's, etc.).
