That's not good but if folks are using cleartext passwords over a wireless connection, they really shouldn't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". If I were one of those "victims" I'd be more worried about the other folks who may have recorded that info (and not very worried about Google). But, of course, Google represents a much more attractive target for those seeking financial reward for their own stupidity. -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | malch@malch.com Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
