Using google against google.

Hi,

Good news for the spamers!!

As most of us are aware that Google provides various options/operators
for writing effective queries. One of the operator is the "site:"
option, which restricts the search to the website specified with this
tag. Just tried googling for some gmail accounts with
site:gmail.google.com and the results were a list of urls with the title
"Link Already Used". The area of concern is that all these pages are
actually error pages with a valid gmail user accounts.... so with a
small script its very easy for some one to glean a list of _valid_ gmail
accounts.

Do you have a gmail account? ....check if your name is already harvested
;-)
