May 21, 201213 yr comment_3310 An interesting article for those of you who are gmail users: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/mimssbits/27863/?p1=blogs. Cheers Ray Report
May 22, 201213 yr comment_3333 How dumb would you have to be to fall for that? I'm not sold on that story. My gmail account won't let me log in from a computer I haven't used before unless I verify at the same time with an SMS code so I would guess this means with this set up the bad guys would need two separate codes - one to retrieve the password and then one to log on to the account.

May 22, 201213 yr comment_3409 I think the big problem here is if you lose your smartphone (or someone nicks it). You probably have it synching your mail with your gmail account, and now they have your gmail username, AND your phone for the SMS part of it. Report
