If you are like me I have always used gmail as my hosting contact since it is the one e-mail address I can always access and has never seemed to go down.

As of August, thanks to defcon in Las Vegas, your gmail account is no longer secure. I had 4 accounts hacked this morning alone and one account I use as a contact for my hosting provider. When they saw this they immediately tried to and successfully changed my passwords to my host, e-mail accounts, and several other things I had laying in the account. With my previous password being GR33DW1llK1ll! I am impressed by this attack method as it worked perfectly. This may not be the correct forum to post this in but for anyone involved in hosting I am sure you are thankful someone is letting you know. If you don’t act now your accounts and db’s could be compromised. I believe yahoo could be more secure and I am hoping someone can confirm? Google is aware of the problem and has taken a stance of “security is your responsibility”.

Please take this warning and make any contact information changes soon to another e-mail address.
