    I had posted this in BBV thread but it may get lost in there so I thought it might be better to start a thread. Please delete if not appropriate mods.

    As per http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=283748, a very dangerous Gmail hacking tool is about to be released to the public. If you have not changed your settings in Gmail to always use https, this thing will allow any webpage that feels like it to automatically steal your Gmail account.

    To secure your account, log in, click "Settings" on the far right corner of your screen, then scroll to the bottom and select the "Always use https" option. This should take you 15 seconds to do, so either do it or at least make sure to post a trip report about your lost monies in BBV.
