Google Glitch causes 150,000 gmail accounts to be deleted

150,000 Gmail accounts have been disabled by a glitch in the Google System. People woke up in the morning to a rude shock, their gmail id was no more. All attachments and even chat history erased. According to Google - "less than 0.08%” of all Gmail users were affected by the bug, which completely reset accounts, even down to the detail offering a welcome message to those users when they first logged on today"

Just to check whether your not one of the 0.08% users, log into you account right away(but do come back :p). So what's the way forward for these 0.08% people who have lost their online address. Well according to Google - "Google engineers are working to restore full access. Affected users may be temporarily unable to sign in while we repair their accounts.”

Many people have also complained to Google about missing emails, attachments. Some of their earlier emails have also gone missing. The engineers at Google are surely having a hard time restoring everything back to normal.

To save your self from the horror of having to wake up some day and find that all those important conversations of your have been wiped out by a silly bug, I would advice you to backup your Gmail right now.
