Google quick fixes bug with Gmail Address Book

Reports online claimed that the Gmail web mail service had a flaw which enabled anyone with a website to steal email addresses from visitor’s Gmail accounts as long as they were logged in to the service on their computers.

Google acted fast and has fixed the bug. This flaw was similar in nature to another flaw recently discovered in the Gmail service and was first reported by Googlified.

Interestingly, the bug appeared only after Google modified their Google Video service to make it easier for their users to forward the video links to their friends listed in their Gmail address book.

A Google’s spokesperson has confirmed that they have completed the implementation of fixes and this bug is no longer relevant for their users.
