Google Serious Security Breach - update 4 - 22 July 07

Hi,

Just to inform anyone affected by this problem:

Google had contacted me and within hours of the correspondence and troubleshooting, we believe problem on the end for Google Reader has been fixed (need confirmation from Google whether the Google Reader or local ISP proxy/cache played a bigger part in this security problem). Thanks to Google. Their response is really fast. They do take security very seriously. I have since conducted testing on my end using IE7, FF2005 on 2 machines. No problem so far. I will be monitoring for another few more days.

For those Singapore users affected by this, kindly let me know whether you don't see this problem anymore.

As I will be away for 2 days, so I will not be able to work on this task during this time and for those who is trying to contact me via Gmail, I will only be able to reply on the 24th, Singapore Time.

Once we have confirmed that the problem is fixed, I will keep everyone informed. So far, Google response has been A+++.

Regards,
