If a friend’s email account is compromised and used to send spam or phishing emails to my gmail address, should I click “Report spam” or “Report phishing” for those emails in the gmail web interface?
I’m thinking I should, but I’m worried it will mess up my friend’s email score/reputation/whatever and make it painful for them later if they recover their compromised account.
Then again, maybe that’s a fair consequence for letting their account get compromised. Unless of course their email provider was compromised, which would mean it wasn’t their fault (unless they chose a notoriously bad email provider).
(side note: when I notice a friend’s email account is compromised, I immediately contact them via some other means–for example: call them–and let them know)




I want to write a simple kid’s game. It would show something like “A B _ D”, then speak “What letter is missing?”. If you hit the “c” key, it would say “Congratulations!”. If you hit any other key, “Try again!”.
