Picture 1 of Google fixes the vulnerability in Gmail service Google has just fixed a bug in the Gmail service after it was discovered by a student earlier this week.

The vulnerability could trigger JavaScript code to run when viewing an e-mail in Gmail. This ability may allow hackers to activate "malicious" code to hijack Gmail accounts.

The vulnerability was discovered by Anthony, a 14-year-old American student, when browsing articles on Google's blog. Shortly after being informed of this problem, Google quickly developed a bug fix to prevent hackers from taking advantage.

In fact, there are a lot of vulnerabilities in online services that are discovered on a regular basis. Last December, Google fixed a security flaw that the company used to create error pages, or pages that did not exist on its website. This vulnerability has provided opportunities for phishing, account theft and other types of attacks.

Other similar vulnerabilities have been discovered and fixed in other sections on the Google website, as well as the Xbox 360 (Microsoft), Yahoo Mail . sites.
