The latest on DigiNotar hack...however you chose to interpret the information, or whatever you make of how it was done, given that the Google webmail of as many as 300,000 Iranians *may* have been intercepted, it's fair to say that nothing online is really private these days: http://bit.ly/negcxJ,
Note:I am making an assumption that the 300,000 accounts belong to "average" Gmail users, or in this case, average Iranian Gmail users, who, if they are anything like their U.S. counterparts, may not take great pains to secure their email communications.
When I talk to my friends about how easy it is for their email to be compromised, I often hear that they don't care, or that they doubt anyone really cares enough about them to snoop.
Famous last words.
Net/net: If you want to keep your private business private, don't talk about it over email...
Internet security involves safety of all the internet account and all the data that is present in the computer in such a way that any access from an unknown source is blocked.
