There used be a lot of phishing going on using myspace... making use of the vulnerability in quicktime that lets u embed javascript in videos... it used to be directed to a fake gmail login page and hence.... the word 'leaked; is used so emphatically..
now that's been fixed.. moreover... google uses an algorithm that makes use of compution on a different server than the one on which the database resides... so don't think any form of hacking is still possible.... bruteforcing wud work.... but wud take a loooooooooooong time for that....
XSS was never been possible on gmail and this makes it kinda difficult...
hope someone figures out something soon...

often that's a case of actual theft. in different circumstances the get entry to is gained utilising assistance straightforward to get entry to like the e-mail identification. The hackers can plant a malicious program utilising the identification if the person isn't precisely utilising secure practices measures and as a result earnings get entry to. IP addressed are often subject to alter and as a result no longer precisely usable.

I doubt there is anything to it. It really depends on where you heard it. Don
