i'm glad you're so concerned with security. i wish you were concerned enough to not deliver my emails and chats to the US government. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data

i'm extremely disappointed in you Google. i'm Canadian, tell me this article isn't true. Or better yet, just delete this comment and pretend everything's great.

Sadly, no one bothered to report the vulnerability of Google to government mass surveillance - I'm sure that Google would have promptly fixed them and rewarded the reporter.

Exploit: Allows an attacker full access to gmail, videos, photos, voice/video chat, contacts, etc.

Steps to reproduce: Send Google a letter saying that you represent the NSA. Add a post script saying, "hey, this is just between us."

Perhaps this particular incentive would be better focused internally, rather than eternally. Having the most secure browser (or OS) means little if the data isn't safeguarded on the back end.

Having had little confidence in the transparency of Google (and other providers) with regard to government requests for customer information and activity, it is likely that denials will be forthcoming. And even if Google and the others were unwilling participants in PRISM, it certainly denigrates their credibility in matters of security.

That is good to know how much Google value holes in its arse. But what about usability bugs? Or people/ customer’s satisfaction is worthless for Google?

I have taken all the security measures printed by Google and others, but my password continues to get changed with email and Google products reviewed; including Adsense and PayPal activity. When I login w/2step verif. n codes, etc. a hacker is able to wedge in from somewhere. Then my pswrd is change, access to dashboard/activity are blocked w their password, notifications are permanently turned off , other changes are made n re-login does not allow 2step again. By the time I get a new pswrd n logged back in, the culprit already has what he/she came for. This is a new one on me. I have been wrestling with this one all day today.

I have similiar problem. My open ID is common known (I didn't register any. Intruders got acces to my G plus, Gmail, Blogger, Picassa, Chrome, YouTube.

lost all of them - includes Youtube where I'm
