I was hacked. Plain and simple. My advice: If you hover the mouse over the link and the address in the redirection warning or the status bar (usually at the bottom of your browser) isn't Gaia and you're even remotely unsure of it, don't click. If you see a tinyURL link in a signature or in the redirection warning, don't click on it. If you want to know what it is, copy-paste that link location into the address bar as follows: http://preview.tinyurl.com/#### (The # symbols being the number/character string involved.) If it's anything that you're even SLIGHTLY hesitant about, don't go there. Ever. I will not let that happen to me again, and I'll do my best not to let it happen to you. If you do happen to get to a masked page, clear all of your private data IMMEDIATELY. That means cookies, saved passwords, cache, the whole nine. In Firefox, you can find that by going Tools > Clear Private Data or if you're fond of keyboard shortcuts, go Ctrl Shift Del. Log yourself out, and then log back in with the manual password and then CHANGE IT. I can't stress that enough.
