Google Didn’t Eat My GMail

December 29, 2006 |

There is an increasing number of alarmist and sensationalist posts on the net today, saying that Google has accidentally deleted mail in the accounts of various users.

Simply put: it didn’t.

These users were hit with a malicious exploit of a known bug in Firefox 2.0. Maybe Google should keep a backup of your data, but then, it does. So calm down everybody - nothing really happened here that was Google’s fault - just make sure you update your browser when it asks you to do so.
