Gmail is the first choice of Hackers and crackers

Guys i read in one of the leading telugu news daily in Andhrapradesh "Andhra Jyothi" stating Gmail is the world's first service that can be hacked easily,
the news stated that the mails or any important msgs coming to your inbox already has some adds related to the mail, for suppose say you got a mail from www.matrimonial .com , an online marriage site.So for gmail along with this mail from matrimonial server some other adds are being attached at page related to marriage sites, say shopping sites,jewellery sites e.t.c;the source states that these adds are the number one means for the hackers to see all your mails and confidential bakups in gmail irrespective of passwords and your usernames

it is true dear, in early 2006 some of guys invented a trick for hacking Gmail password without your knowledge, i think you are aware of it, sending mail request to Gmail server as you sent from your mail for some request of password

GOOGLE itself is the biggest hacker... :-D

... So even if others are not hacking google sure is. But does is stop us from using google NO.. !!

so don't worry till that mail ID is just informal and you won't get any imp mails e.g. from banks...

in 2002, there was no GMail

Bhai that was a trick used on users by hackers to get the password. I read that even for Hotmail & Yahoo! It was for idiots.

This is not true

Being unimportant has its advantages. No one spends time hacking your PC if they already know that you got nothing of that worth

The least thing I wanted was a telugu regional daily telling me that my gmail account can be hacked easily.LMAO,can't get better.

Google rules!

its completely impossible to just hack into a GMAIL acc..da guys sitting dere r not nuts...*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/76.gif...ne ways...Gmail is secure n nuthing 2 worry...

its bogus dumb stupid story!!! no hackin possible easily!

LOL, they earn billions and pay millions to techs for securing their network.

Had it been so easy to hack GMAIL, they wont have such large members, and you will see news flashing on most channels not just Telgu Newspapers

yes, working......

ohk..there are severe allegations tat google reads our mail to get ads into it...it luks like they are using the web search spiders to get words for their ads...why shud they bother to read all msg and try to interpret the myriad data belonging to someone...so privacy is not being compromised.

And by using their own security measures..only google can peek into ur mails.so directed hacking is not possible.

And even after all this..if u are not satisfied...find a service u are confident of and move ur important transaction to it...tats wat many ppl are doing...but remember..all services are equally vulnerable out there....at least the free services....

Are you talking to attach a meaningless text file with some stupid script with your ID and password somewhere in between that script and the other person's ID (whose ID you want to hack) and send it to some ID like gmail.password@gmail.com??

Nothing will happen but it will be you whose ID will get hacked as you yourself provided your password.
