So you’ve got a Gmail mail account? Or maybe you’ve just received an 
invitation? Well, we have some bad news for you: Your mail box is exposed. A 
major security hole in Google's mail service, allows full access to user 
accounts, without the need of a password. 

"Everything could get publicly exposed – your received mails might be 
readable, as well as all of your sent mail, and furthermore – anyone could 
send and receive mail under your name", thus reveals Nir Goldshlagger, an 
Israeli hacker, on an exclusive interview with Nana NetLife Magazine. "Even 
more alarming", he explains, "is the fact that the hack itself is quite 
simple. All that is needed of the malicious hacker, beside knowledge of the 
specific technique, is quite basic computer knowledge, the victim's username 
– and that’s it, he's inside".
