Gmail Hackers

Just an FYI:
Apparently it is possible for someone to hijack your web-session Gmail via cookies and sniffing, etc. Google has already set up a fix for this, but you have to turn it on. If you don't care to know any more, you just need to open your Gmail and do the following:

  1. Click on "Settings" in the upper right hand corner
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the menu under "General"
  3. Under "Browser Connection" select "Always use https"

If you're curious, you can read about it in ValleyWag:
