Gmail Is Very Popular But Google Still Won't Fix A Security Vulnerability

Gmail has 1.2 billion users. Google promised that it will stop scanning the personal data of free users of Gmail for targeted advertising purposes later this year.

Google apparently has gathered enough personal data to let non-paying users of Gmail enjoy the same privacy level of paying Gmail customers.

Unfortunately, Google has yet to address the very old security flaw of Gmail. It still favors password recovery through phone verification SMS.

If a person loses his smartphone with his mobile Gmail app logged in, he left himself exposed to identity theft.
