This is one of those post that you need to read. It's a post on Google. You know Google. I know Google. Everyone knows Google. They may not know what a google is, but they know the company. At least anyone who has gotten on the internet has had some interaction with Google. Passively through banner ads, look about on this page, or through search functions.
You know Google. Period.
If you use Google's Gmail, then you're going to want to quit looking at that page you view along side this page and read well. You need to check your GMail filters to makes sure that there isn't one that has been forwarding you mail to someone else.
This is a vulnerability in Gmail that hasn't been fixed. Yet. Hackers have found this out. Odd thing about Hackers, even though you get those hackers who create virii to screw with your computer, you still get those that check the empire for holes. When they find a hole, most will contact the company and tell them that it they don't fix the problem, we'll tell the world about this problem.
The linked article will tell you of several hacks that are out there right now that Google hasn't repaired.
I'm not trying to incite panic, most people don't know jackasses that would do something like that. But some people have friends who know and you might lose the naked photos of your girlfriend/boyfriend/pet.
