There is something unnerving about giving my Google password to someone other than Google.  I'll pass.  Thanks for the heads up though I'll change mine.

No! Your account probably is not in public access! However, we are strongly recommend to change your password periodically.

I'm clean. But I heard most were Russian e-mail accounts that were compromised.

The only gmail account I have is the one auto-created by my school. I almost wished that was leaked so I could say I lost access to it
