GMail messages are vulnerable to interception.  An attacker has only to transmit malformed test messages to himself, and information left over in memory, from previous messages destined for other people, will appear with the test messages, in the attacker's inbox.  Sometimes, this information may include usernames and passwords...  Do you use GMail?  Are you communications private?  Should they be?  Well, here's what HBX Networks figured out about the issue, that may or may not help you - or perhaps GMail, if anyone can get ahold of their developers, to tell them about it. UPDATE: The bug was fixed about one hour after the story broke on Slashdot. 12:20:01 PM

Kos was a paid mouthpiece for the dems?  Doesn't surprise me, but it is relevant with the whole Armstrong thing.  For the record, I am against what Armstrong did.  I think it is better to be transparent, and clear about where the money comes from.  UPDATE: In what I think is good news, Kos was open about this in 03.  8:47:46 AM
