Google Bug!

Well, nothing is perfect.. Not even Google !

It was found that there was a bug in Google script which could easily reveal all your contacts when you are logged into any Google account such as GMail, Orkut, Blogger, Reader etc.

Jeremy Kirk of IDG News Service London, had found this bug. Google stored its information in a Javascript, which could be called by any website by manipulating the function "google()". This could very well have been a bug of the new year...

Did I say could have been ? Oh well, Yes... The bug has been fixed. Google fixed the bug within 30 hours after being notified about this. And there is no threat now.

A bit of relief!
