Did you know that anyone, anywhere in the world can get into a gmail account
merely by knowing its creation date (month and year is sufficient) and the
last login date (try "today")? What a joke.

We don't even know if this email originated by Markus himself.  :-)

As for security, the default access for mobile devices (which require
no further credentials for Mail, Web, SMS) is a swipe.

I too wish the world was bulletproof from birth, but it's not.
