Anywho, I freaked out, changed my password, and now have a 2step authentication option from google.

No problems since.

Cool, didn't know about the 2 step verification. Turning them on now.. Just recently had my email hacked and spam was sent to all my contacts.

just be glad it was not aol account. since if your account get hacked and someone goes and spam hell out of it. good luck in getting back. since you have to fight for it and you will have to wait for few weeks to clear things up since they take there time. most likely lose your account and ability to use them as internet provider. since they do not not like people spamming hell out in emails. i had that once when live with pops. we had to fight get aol get my account back and inter back up since locked account and where think of shutting down whole aol account. since we shared in same house.
