Hackers suck

gakked from kaymyth thanks for the info.

GMail users: Attention

Apparently, some jackass is set to release some sort of Gmail account autohack tool. Since Gmail isn't secure every second you're online unless you tell it to be, this could cause problems, especially for folks who log in over unsecured public wireless networks

Do you know what the original source of the information is? Does it come from a reputable news source? Is there an article out there or some other way to verify this information?

As an IT person, I want to be able to release this information to my company, but I need something more concrete than that I found out about it on LJ.

Thanks!!!
