How do I know this?

Because Google sent me a warning/inquiry message, listing the IP and assorted odd log in times (like five minutes previous to reading, where I would've been on the freeway). So I changed my password.

I have no idea of course if said hacker acquired any other passwords through inspecting my mail. Guess I'll be finding out. Hopefully not.

Anyhow, pretty cool Google noticed and notified me.

The meat of the argument is quote from the New York Times near the bottom of the page.

I am just amazed that the backbone providers think a tiered delivery (coming from payments them) system is a good/reasonable idea. I guess it's all just another money stream to them. I truly do not understand thinking that way.

If anyone knows more about this, I'd be interested to hear.
