    What happened with G-Archiver?

    It has come to our attention that a flaw in the coding of G-Archiver may
    have revealed customer's Gmail account usernames and passwords.

    It is urgent that you remove the current version of G-Archiver from your
    computer, and change your Gmail account password right away.

    What happened was that a member of our development team had inserted coding
    used for testing G-Archiver in the debug version and forgot to delete it in
    the final release version.

    We sincerely apologize and assure you that this coding mishap was in no way
    intentional.

    We'll be releasing a new version that corrects the flaw in version 1.0. The
    new version will be available very soon.

    Yikes
