gmail trouble

I came across an article releasing news that a gmail application called G-Archiver has tapped into user’s gmail accounts taking all of the data.  It’s a scary thought to think your personal e-mails are freely distributed to these scamming programmers. The article continues to mention it is the user’s own fault that they put their information in a third party application without knowing much about it.  Many companies that use gmail’s features don’t realize gmail has the right to forward information if they are legally obligated to give it.  The article ended by saying you’d be lucky to even get a mention from gmail that your information was provided to another source.  I thought gmail was the best e-mail application ever… but i guess there are some downfalls with it as well.
