Darkavich's Daily Ramblings Ramblings of a Mad Sys-Admin

Trust no one…

Ok, I just don’t get this…

back when Google started with gmail, I thought I would see what all the buzz was about. I was under impressed because it was no different than all the other webmail systems out there.

Today, I logged into the account. It had never been used to SEND or receive email, so there is no way anyone would have know it existed. When I logged in, the account had over 200 messages of SPAM!

This gives me a very high confidence that someone has sold the entire Gmail database to a spam house. The email address I was using was a very random set of characters and  numbers. Now you know why I am so paranoid about not trusting any other companies to host my services. If they sold mailing lists, what else are they selling?

Well in poking around I went to www.iphone.com and got this page. So I guess this is the new slashdot effect.
