From past 3 days, there is a strange contact appearing online in my gtalk contact list visible at the right side of gmail account. Its name is some "Michael" something and there is no email ID of the contact. On doing much research, i just got some address of that person as xcxkceuewuewu@talk.google.com. I tried talking to that person and when i asked him how he got added in my A/C , he simply replied "idk, lol" . And then he further answered anything.

I am too much worried about this. Has my account been hacked or something?? Even when that person goes offline, it doesn't appear in the offline friend list and when i am trying to remove that, i am unable to do so. Please help me what should i do??
 
Happened to me with Live Messanger few years back. It was strange. I couldn't find the reason.
 
Just change your password

Lol, I am shocked. There is a guy named Micheal Sim on my GTalk contacts too... Here is the chat history :

Rahul: Hello. Are you from XDA?

Michael: what is xda

Rahul: Then how did you find me?

Michael: I did a search

Rahul: And you added me for?

Michael: to connect with likeminded individuals... people who are worth adding to my network.

Rahul: Well, why so?

Michael: I am in the software/web development industry.

social media, things like that.

even mobile apps

Rahul: Okay, where did you find my email address

Michael: I did not find your email address, I found your google Plus profile.

Rahul: Ok

Michael: With Google, I guess it is very much the same...

if you can find someone's profile, it is similar to having their email.

But I am not here to spam... just connect with people, learn about social media and Google +

Well, He found me on http://findpeopleonplus.com/ and he is not hacker. He is chatting with me like a normal human being.. He just want to add more friends in his list..
 
This is disadvantage of having profile on Google+, people can search and add anyone

You will get strangers on your contact list without your acknowledgement.. :/

^ I don't think that matters. I don't ever chat, and so am always in invisible, but I keep getting bullshit invitations all the while
 
it doesn't matter if u chat or not, be available in chat or not, if you do not disable visibility on search, your profile as well as whole about me information you put in ur g+ is visible in search and they can easily get your email id
