WARNING: Check Your GMail Filters Regularly

I just read a very scary story to nearly any blogger, especially if you use gmail. David Airey had his blog hijacked buy someone using a backdoor filter in gmail into order make it appear that he himself had asked for the URL of his blog to be transfered.

I suggest everyone scan their filters regularly just to make sure that no one has figured out a way to insert one of these backdoor filters. I know after reading about what happened to David, I hoped right over and checked out my filters.

Take a few minutes and read David's story in WARNING: Google’s GMail security failure leaves my business sabotaged :: David Airey :: Graphic and Logo Designer:

What would you do if a criminal stole something very personal, and very valuable from you?

What if they were able to target your business and criple your income?

You wouldn’t be too happy now, would you?

What if you also discovered that this was happening because of a Google security infection that can affect every GMail user on the planet?

That’s what has just happened to me, and here I’m going to tell you my story. I will detail everything I know about the web pirates who are threatening my livelihood, and tell you what you need to know in order to avoid the same thing happening to you.
