Posted by: Sierra Monica B. in News

A new warning about a security flow in Google’s Gmail accounts has just been made public.
This issue follows the recent vulnerabilities discovered in Google e-mails, pictures on Picasa application and the website.
Now it is about a flaw which allows backdoor’s intrusion in Gmail accounts.
Who do you think that had discovered this?
Again Petko D. Petkov.
It seems that the guy is always with the eyes on this kind of problems.
He says that the backdoor installs after luring the victim logged in Gmail, to a specially crafted website which uses multipart/form-data POST to write a filter to Gmail causing all email with attachments to be forwarded to collect@evil.com.
Google is investigating this, according to one of their spokesmen.
