Gmail account hacking tool

A tool that automatically steals IDs of non-encrypted sessions and breaks into Google Mail accounts has been presented at the Defcon hackers’ conference in Las Vegas.

So now is a good time to enable SSL on your Gmail account!

Enabling the HTTPS setting in Gmail

To enable this feature in Gmail:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Set 'Browser Connection' to 'Always use https.'
4. Click Save Changes.
5. Reload Gmail.

You could use the https:// option for a while, but the always use https is new.
