Twice in the last week I have observed that a batch of email is being sent from my Gmail account on my iPhone to a group of random names from my contact list. The messages contain the usual dangerous links that lead to infecting sites.
The outgoing messages are clearly in my Gmail outbox and I had no other computer running with Gmail on it at the time the messages were sent.
A number of friends have reported receiving this spam.
I thought that such an infection was impossible on an iPhone. I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS updates in place.
There doesn't appear to be any support anywhere for removing such an infection. Would wiping the iPhone be needed? Or just wiping my Gmail account on the phone?
