14 DAY TRIAL // Gmail is one of the most popular e-mail services in the world and even if it is available by invitation, it already owns a huge number of registered users. As you know, the security of a mail account is very important for every user, no matter if he's using a web-based mail or a POP3 client. Google tried to add security tools to Gmail, the mail solution providing a powerful filter for all incoming spam messages. It seems like the ways for hacking Gmail are more evolved in our days as Philipp Lenssen said on his blog. A user published an e-mail on Google Blogoscoped forum to present the latest way for hacking Gmail: send a message to a Google user and ask him his password.
"First send a letter to ***(at)gmail.com, second within the Subject heading place the word "Password" (not in quotes but has to have a capital P) this way he automated bot recognizes what you are after. Then in the text field place the name of the person at gmail that you want to hack (Do not put @gmail.com after their name). No capital letters are to be put in this place. Then skip three (3) lines and place your own gmail account information such as: My login:My password (a smeicolon makes it easier for the bot to recognize). This way the bot can verify that your account actually exists. And then supplies you with the password for the person's account that you want it for," the e-mail said.
This is one of the funniest ways for hacking Gmail but some users that are not too experienced can be tricked by this e-mail and send the password to a "hacker". Anyway, this looks like a phishing attack so I think Google will block that e-mail address soon.
