Is Gmail Safe? How do you protect yourself from these kind of attacks?

His advice is good and probably worth implementing. one thing though..<p>&#62; Make sure to upgrade your domain to private registration so that your contact details don’t show up on WhoIS searches. If you’re on GoDaddy I’d recommend going with Protected Registration &#60;<p>I thought some WHOIS services offered the ability to view cached pages of all previous contact details, no ?

Can one of the google employees here ask one of their gmail buddies about this?

<a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=554" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=554</a> It looks like the gmail team has created a fix and pushed the fix. It suggests that you keep checking your filters to see if you been rigged as the fix wouldn't fix it (pun intended).

"...including 2 malware monitors, an antivirus and 2 firewalls" In case the attack is too strong for the first firewall?

Seems like the simple solution would be for Google to require authentication/SSL to create a filter.

I guess the solution is to use Gmail in a separate browser profile that you won't use for anything else.<p><a href="http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles" rel="nofollow">http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles</a>
