Problems with Gmail
It seems that gmail users should be on the look out for a new threat. Gmail has a weakness which allows someone to get into your account via a back door.
What happens is the user will somehow get lured to a website, while the gmail page is open, once on there it will write a filter for your gmail account. This will then send all email messages that have attachments to be forward to collect@evil.com .
The thing about this is the users are not likely to know it. The only to be sure is to go to your account and check your filters section in the gmail settings.
