Whoever is doing this is one skilled hacker...

I was wondering how this information got leaked.

I did a search of my own on gmail security, and found that:

1. If you ever use wireless internet, you should always use https, and not http, when you connect to gmail on your browser; a recent defcon demonstration showed that it’s possible to get into someone’s gmail account through a javascript cookie-stealing attack, but it only works on unencrypted connections.
2. If someone invites you to gmail, but puts their email address as a secondary address, they can steal your account, unless you delete the secondary address in gmail’s settings.

But that didn’t seem sufficient to explain this kind of Mitnik-esque information theft.
