[GUI-Talk] Gmail and Outlook: Recent Security Conundrums

[David Andrews]

The problem is most likely that when Sherry types in the address to 
the mail program, it is auto-filling the address, but not with the 
proper address.  This has happened to me. Maybe someone used the 
gui-talk-request address to do something etc., and that is what is 
being auto-filled. It is easy to miss.
