Compromised Gmail accounts are being used to disseminate spam about Canadian Health&Care Mall, a bogus site offering cheap drugs online.

The email I received consisted of "Subject: sarah carter" and a single URL in the message area. Suspicious, I didn't click on the link but copied it to my browser, anonymized myself by activating Tor, and only then hit Enter. The original link -- www.mach3fr.com/default.php -- actually took me to www.pharmacymedshealthsite.net, home of a notorious spammer.

The website actually looks professional and reassuring with FAQs, contact addresses, and testimonials, but Spam Trackers, (amongst several others), have done a detailed analysis. I'll leave you to explore their findings -- including fake licenses, fake doctors, fake registrations and even fake buildings! (You gotta love Google Street View!)

Here's their "Head Office" at 186 Brock Street, Kingston, Ontario ...		... which is really the Hotel Dieu Hospital, which occupies the entire block.

Needless to say, avoid, avoid, avoid! And if you have a Gmail account, it might be time to change your password.
