GMail and security
Despite all the promises about security, within days of signing up for a GMail account I started to get spam. And lots of it. Some of it even had a few GMail addresses alphabetically before mine, and a few after. I sent a mail to the folks at GMail suggesting that their security had been breached, and got the standard reply that spammers just guess email addresses and hope for the best. Not very likely, given the length of my address, and some of my co-spamees.
I’m sure I’m not alone.
PS: Things did improve however, as my second GMail account gets no spam at all.
