[cap-talk] google alerts phishing

I received a phishing email that was very specific to me.  It appeared  
to be from google alerts, and had my search term "extensible graphical  
game generator" in it.  I don't know if someone has been through my  
email, and found a similar email, or if google has been compromised.   
I have concluded that I can't trust any emails any more.  It is also  
possible that google actually found the site; I visited the site, and  
that's not very likely.  I am a bit paranoid that this was directly   
attacking my computer.
