(OT) Google: "Somebody knows your password"

[Joel Rees]

> The DNS poisoning thing would require for example a (Windows) computer to
be compromised and the "hosts" file to include an entry for google.com or
whatever, causing lookups for that domain to go there. Unlikely perhaps.
Same could happen on Linux but even more unlikely at this stage.

Well, if the OP is the target of an orchestrated attack, the poisoning
could actually be on another machine, maybe in the LAN or even in the ISPs
network. That's the reason for all the talk about https, but you should
still be careful.
