    Hello guys,

    Shared this piece of news on other forums as well. Wanted to share this news as industry giant Google keeps getting in the lime light all the time.

    Jacqui Cheng of ars technica reported that gmail bot detector system cracked by a group. But does this hack means actually means big news? there are alot of security methods even after automated bot recognition is cracked.

    Earlier came accross news about notorious gang called "Cult of the Dead Cow" releasing a tool which uses search engines to look for vulnerabilities in Web sites. Read the full story.

    Still i think its a no big deal for them, there are security filters even after that.
