Google on Wednesday disclosed that a cyber attack originating in China resulted in the breach of the Gmail accounts of hundreds of high-profile individuals in several nations.
In a blog post, Eric Grosse, engineering director of Google's security team, described a campaign to collect Gmail users' passwords that he says appears to have originated in Jinan, China. The hackers targeted the accounts of "senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, officials in several Asian countries (predominantly South Korea), military personnel and journalists." 😕

I read this information on some blog:
If on entering the User name and password, you get an pop-up for wrong password, beleive me someone is try to hack your account.
As google gives red color error message on the same screen.
Also look out for all the links (links shown at the bottom when you hover your mouse on any link) - link shouldn't mention about EN_KR, if you happens to see that thats pointing that you ar on wrong page.
