Gmail Security Flaw?

MakeUseOf.com, one of my favorite blog, was recently hacked. Their domain name was stolen by a hacker whom they believe to have found a security flaw in Gmail, and gain access to their domain from there. This is what Aibek, the guy behind MakeUseOf.com, wrote:

"The hacker did access my Gmail account and set up some filters there that eventually helped him to get access to our GoDaddy account. What I didn’t know is how he managed to do that. Was it a security hole in Gmail? Or was it a keylogger on my PC? I wasn’t sure about it. After the incident I scanned my system with a number of malware removals and didn’t find anything. I also went through every running process as well. All semed to be clean.

So, I am inclined to believe the problem was with Gmail."

Check out the full post from Aibek here: BREAKING: New Gmail Security Flaw. More Domains Get Stolen!

Gmail is my favorite email service. Although I don't own a popular domain like Aibek do, I certainly hope all my private emails are secure with Gmail. Hopefully the Gmail team from Google will look into this and fix the security flaw as soon as possible!
