Saw this thread about the guy losing his domain because of Google's security problems with GMail... http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=794845

I think a possible relation to the ePass hacks deserves it's own thread.

So those of you who had money stolen out of your ePass account, did you at the time have a GMail email address listed at ePass?

If so, prior to October 1st all you had to do was visit the website of a scammer while logged into GMail in another window. The security flaw allowed the scammers to set up your GMail account to forward certain emails to them. Emails such as "i forgot my password" requests.
