External access to "vanishing" Gmail messages could be a phishing dream!
https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/i9Mbhj3L79U By the way, if Gmail's purported upcoming "self-destructing emails" feature was to work for external mail systems, the obvious way to do this would be by sending recipients a link that they'd have to click to pop over to Google to see the actual message. This of course not only wouldn't work for someone without a handy web browser on their device, but also might closely emulate popular techniques of spammers and crooks who of course would start sending out fake Gmail links for people to click and be suckered into various nasty traps. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lau...@vortex.com): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
