This man can access ALL GMAIL accounts on this planet:

Tuukkah · 04-15-2007, 09:12 PM

How on earth is this possible; this guy just goes to gmail via google.com and BOOM! suddenly he is logged on to SOMEONE ELSES GMAIL ACCOUNT.

He's not a hacker, just an ordinary lad, who is "a bit" confused by all this. He is actually concerned of this obvious security problem and as he gets logged on to people accounts he sends an email to the person from the persons own gmail account. He is telling them that who he is and tells them that they should change their password.

In this video clip, Richard is asking for all of the gmail-users/youtubers to describe their experiences if they have encountered the same:

I highly doubt that he is actually getting into other people's accounts. If it really did happen, it would happen to more people and google would know about it and have fixed it.

Is that really possible?

Actually, it's not.

As this guy showed me what he did, i couldn't believe my eyes. He had very random accesses around the world. One account was owned by a person in Lithuania and one was from New Zealand, so this seems to be a global security flaw.

Does anyone have a security expert connections or a friend working for Google? It would be VERY NICE to hear what experts say about all of this.

You have a right to be doubtful.

This guy and myself too know exactly how bizarre and hard to believe it is, but this actually happens. And without anykind of hacking or anything.

No-one has any idea whom we should contact by this obvious security flaw?

What I mean is that in the video, the guy shows NOTHING, except moving his arms everywhere, this is fake. Show something, even if it could be faked, but here you don't even bother showing fake screenshots.

After all, how hard would it be to create a false email address ?

You actually think this guy would be interested in making a video recorded confession? Yeah, right. A family man is SO interested of your suspicions that he proves you that he is not a fraud and at the same time gives a full confession for the prosecutor.

He is ONLY interested in getting info if anyone else has encountered the same. Obviosly not too many... Well, we shall wait and see if anyone else has been able to do the same with their cell-phone.
