I've just got a similar email, telling me I had a message, and none there. Second in a couple of days. Each time I clicked on the link and signed in. Does that mean I have compromised my account? I'm off the change my password now.

I don't think so. The link does not include any suspicious phishing or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Rule of thumb: if you don't trust it, don't click it. Instead, manually type in the website address directly that you trust. Installing Netcraft Toolbar to Firefox and IE will help you identify the trustworthiness of the site you visited. Click on Site Report link in the toolbar. It shows all the available info of the site. If you see a lot of "unknown" in the fields, consider that suspicious.

OK Thanks for that. I usually never click on links in emails, but just wasn't thinking. No harm done though.
