What is happening with GOOGLE?

Few weeks back lot of GMAIL users were greeted with the message Sorry, your account has been disabled. For more information about Google Accounts, please consult our Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/accounts/ when they tried to log into their account. Infact their Google accounts were disabled preventing them from logging into other Google services like Google Page creator, Google analytics etc. and this is what google responded.
“Our goal has always been to keep Gmail free of people who abuse the service and to keep Gmail inboxes free of spam. We’ve been targeting a large network of spammers to keep them out of the Gmail system and accidentally disabled access to some other accounts. We’ve restored access to these accounts. We know how important Gmail is to our users, so we encourage them to report any issues to the Gmail Help Center so we can investigate and assist them.”
Now hackers have started playing with GMAIL’s security. Read the story of a blogger who lost his domain address to a hacker because of GMAIL’s security failure. A site attracting more than 2000 visitors per day is now reset to zero. A site which topped search results is now no where to be found.
Click here to know how a hacker can install a backdoor within your gmail account. Emails from your mailbox can be forwarded to the hacker without yor knowledge. If you have a GMAIL account it is important that you check your filter settings NOW! (GMAIL -> Setting -> Filters). It seems that Google has fixed this security issue but existing filters will not be removed.
Read the news about the Worm which hit Google’s ORKUT. Always Think before you run any scripts from your web browser’s address bar.

Line and paragraph breaks automatic, e-mail address never displayed, HTML allowed: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>
This shows that nothing is ideal. Google’s claim of being secure against the internet vulnerabilities is now become fictitious.

very informative post, thank you. but still how the hacker can break ur gmail id and password?
Renjith,
Its not cracking the password. All your emails are forwarded to yhe hacker without your knowledge which is worst than hacking password. Because you never know that you are being watched
