Google fixes the hole in GMail too fast
Google plugs hole exposing Gmail mail-boxes (InfoWorld)
According to Nathan Tyler, Google spokesman, "Google was recently alerted to a potential security vulnerability affecting the Gmail service. We have since fixed this vulnerability, and all current and future Gmail users are protected,". The problem was that an attacker could take the cookie file that was created when the victim logs into GMail account and use that cookie file to log onto victim's account from any computer bypassing the password. This means that the attacker can use the victim's account even the password is changed.
But, the good news is that Google has fixed the security flaw. Google was pretty fast in fixing the flaw.
