Anil JainI 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.
