Yeah, we had our gmail account broken into

We've updated outgoing email to come from reddit@reddit.com rather than reddit@gmail.com, so please don't accept any emails from the latter any more.

We're in contact with both google's and twitter's security team, and the site has not been broken into. All he's done at this point is ruined everyone's night. We don't recycle passwords, and we don't store passwords in the reddit email.

No one's account has been compromised. We don't store any confidential information in that account; it is just for feedback email.
