    Gmail - Hack Leads to Domain Theft

    A hacker used a deficiency in Gmail to steal a domain name this month. The theft was of DavidAirey.com, a popular graphic designer’s personal site that attracts a couple thousand unique visitors a day.

    So how did it happen, and what can you do to protect yourself? Furthermore, how could a popular domainer site lead to even more lost domains?

        I don't see what the how this was the fault of Gmail. It sounds like the "hacker" had the username/p***word for the Gmail account.
