On his blog, Anthony, a 14-year-old programmer, reported an error in Gmail that could be exploited to run malicious code when a user opens an email with a exploit code in his Gmail account.
Anthony, a 14-year-old programmer who discovered an error, could exploit the JavaScript code when he sent a javascript code from Yahoo email to a Gmail account and surprisingly opened the email. Gmail also runs it. According to Anthony, hackers can take advantage of this security bug to steal Gmail accounts or compromise these accounts.
After the information was submitted, Google quickly tested and corrected this error within 24 hours. Although it can be quickly repaired, we can think of a group of highly capable and programmable crackers that work together to attack 'giants' like Google and exploit translations. How dangerous would this email deal be for these giants.
Information on this error can be found at Anthony's blog or Google's feedback here.
