Gmail glitch causes mass email deletion

Posted by multippt

Google comfirmed on Friday that there were some users of Gmail (Google Mail) who had their email accounts cleaned out (in that all or some Email messages received before the 18th of December were deleted) by a glitch. It is likely that the wipeout is done deliberately. However, it is also possible that the email deletion may have been caused by an accident.

Fortunately, this problem affected a small percentage of Gmail users (0.0003%). In addition, Google is known for its security and reliability in its technologies (like Google search and Google Mail). Google has not released any other information behind the incident.
