We realize people are concerned about their Google accounts, and we’re now able to give a fuller explanation after further investigation.
HOW TO: Change system date in OS X from Terminal UPDATE 3 ( 22:13EST): A Google spokesperson has emailed us another official comment on this story: So we’d like to clarify that Mailinator is just as much a victim in this situation as were the email recipients. Whoever came up with this phishing scam was using the Mailinator service in a malicious way. We indicate that the emails were coming from a Mailinator email address but in reality, they were being sent TO the Mailinator address.

Actually, do not open any invite to Google Docs from any source you cannot absolutely verify. The emails have all come from a Mailinator email address The other red flag is, there is no text in the body but just an invite to share Google Docs, a nice shiny blue button to click. The first thing that triggered red flags for me was the source. Just about 40 minutes ago I began receiving Google Doc email invites from some of my contacts.
