Mysterious Gmail account lockouts prompt hack fears

Ominous message

My experience was a bit more ominous. than the Reg article describes. I got a messge saying "Something is wrong. Please log in again." Suspecting phishing, I did the extreme thing: logged out of gmail, shut down my computer, booted a different OS, and went to my gmail account, where I was asked to provide my password. I did that, and haven't seen the problem since, but I really hate ominous messages popping up when I'm in gmail.
