ACHTUNG! Do you use Gmail?
This is a blatant cut and paste from
synabetic because a) it's important and b) I'm lazy and pressed for time (on the clock, yo!) Thanks, Steve!
Then you need to read this. Now.
Most important bits from the post if you haven't clicked yet: "Hello, folks--earlier this month, at a well-known conference, there was announced a tool that can hack into any GMail account, regardless of how good your password is, as long as the data is flitting around unencrypted.
Simply log into GMail, and click on the Settings link over in the top right corner. At the bottom of this screen is a section labeled 'Browser Connection', which by default is set to 'Don't always use https'. Change this to 'Always use https', then click the "Save changes" button directly below. That 'should' keep you safe from people using this fascinating new toy."
Big thanks to lwood for letting people know, and many thanks to talheres for the heads up.
