Google says ISP glitch exposes Gmail data in Kuwait


A Gmail user in Kuwait reported to CNET News.com over the weekend that he had been having trouble for most of the day logging into his account. More troubling though, he was able to see other people's private information, including scores of personal e-mail messages, "keycodes for some embassy gate" as well as user names and passwords, Abdulaziz Al-Shalabi wrote to CNET News.com. "Most likely, other strangers are taking a look at my own personal stuff as I type this."


He said he had inadvertently logged into more than 30 other accounts and supplied about two dozen screen shots as proof. Al-Shalabi said the problem was fixed by Wednesday.
