Just as I wrap this up, I found out that Gmail could actually become a threat if not used properly. Take a look at this. In my eyes, this is not so much a Gmail issue as an email issue. I think that this ought to be serving as a reminder to all of us about just how dangerous it can be to save anything of importance to our various email accounts. Even worse, is finding yourself in the same situation as the individual linked above.

Remember, not everyone out there will have this kind of happy ending. For myself personally, this serves as a reminder not just about what I had addressed previously, but that even outside of the email realm, life happens. All of us, every single person with something to lose can always be at risk. One thing is for certain, I will be working on a security audit myself here this weekend.
