GMail vulnerability
Well, if you're planning to give all your personal info to Google (i.e., store all your emails in GMail and have them indexed by Google), think again: the first user information disclosure vuln. has been found while this is still in the Beta.
OTOH, Google looks into this, anyway. Quoting Mr. McNealy: "You've got zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
(Btw, you can fill my GMail inbox at frankpr@gmail.com ... I've got 1000 MB of storage space to fill :-)

Surely that's the whole point of a Beta, that problem WON'T be in the released version. - Anonymous

I am using Gmail for last 2 months and i never have any issue . Gmail invitations are hashed with the recipient First /Last names . just you need to have the invitation hashing url .
I dont think this is a serious problem as In the Gmail invitation you never give complete details other than First /Last name . whats the big deal with that ?
Any thing i m missing here ? - Anonymous
