Google seems strangely determined to say it’s users’ security was unaffected as many times as possible. If Google only said this a handful of times, I could accept that, but to place these notices everywhere just seems fishy to me. If a mega-corporation feels they absolutely need to say the same thing over and over and over, you should take it with a pinch of salt. Of course, that may just be Google taking extra steps to tell everyone exactly what happened, and *if* that’s the case, there’s nothing evil about that. Still…
And in what appears to be an un-related issue, I’ve been having trouble accessing GMail through IMAP. Apparently, Google implemented some new 2-factor feature that isn’t compatible with IMAP. Thus, I had to go into my settings and enable “less secure” apps, or access GMail through my browser (I may or may not forget to sign out, which means I could potentially leak all kind of info, which Google will happily link directly to me).
