Protect your E-mail from Phishing

Received this e-mail apparently from Gmail, indicating that I had reached my disk storage limit.

For a moment I was in a panic, but then I looked at the return address and realized it was a phishing attempt.

• Phishing is an attempt to collect your user name and password

The link provided in the e-mail looked quite authentic, but again the web address obviously was not authentic: 

slg-itc.eu/xc.htm

There are times when you wont even realize that your information has been stolen until severe damage has been inflicted, which may include financial transactions.

Hacked or not, it's important that you regularly change your passwords.

Important to note, it's a problem with all accounts, not just Gmail.
