A site that grabs your GMail address

Whoa, Google, That’s A Pretty Big Security Hole

In edit: that site is now down! and the problem fixed (for now).

 

Good that was fixed quick. What other are left I wonder.

 

Maybe this sounds like a stupid question, but it was not mentioned whether or not you had to be signed in within the same browser session? Would it be possible for it to happen, even if having Gmail open in a different session (same or different web browser)?

 

maybe more will be revealed later and the moment it seems a bug was in google api (maybe not checking access correctly). that blog site itself is part of google

 

t happens in hotmail too

 

what does

 

Scary stuff indeed .

But I do always log-out when ever I am done with my email account or any other account for that matter to be sure something like this won't happen.
