Now: question to the our dear Open-Source community - How is this possible ? 1. How is this possible for hijackers to hijack the mail source address?
*OK, you say SMTP spoof, but with GMail web interface, it is impossible to access email RAW code, to see exactly what was changed.
2. How is it possible for GMail to distinguish between a real and a hijacked email ?
At which fields GMail is looking ?
Sheesh, why do you assume, that the mail was sent via Gmail at all?
He's not assuming the email was sent via Gmail. He just wrote that the FROM-address was hijacked.
That is exactly the crux of the problem. No account was hacked, just a mail address being used for a joe job.
He's not claiming that a GMail account was hacked (I prefer "cracked").
Happens all the time.
