FIL sent this to us this morning. I know supposedly they have quietly closed the holes now, but really something to think about in an era where so many accounts are linked together for many of us.

Scary stuff.

Wow! Thanks! I don't use gmail but work uses google platform for several other applications. I just added the 2-step authorization and did the extra step for authentication on my smartphone.
