Default Security flaw in Gmail?

More domains have been stolen: BREAKING: New Gmail Security Flaw. More Domains Get Stolen!

It looks like there may be a serious security flaw in Gmail.

According to GeekCondition.com, a hacker can set up a filter where all emails sent from, say, GoDaddy Support is automatically deleted and forwarded to the hacker's email address.

What you should do if you have a Gmail Account?

Check your filters and make sure that nothing seems out of the ordinary. If you?re using Firefox, you can download an extension called NoScript which helps to prevent you from becoming a victim of one of these attacks. Overall, though, be cautious.
UPDATE: Google has published a response to the recent reports that there may be a security flaw in Gmail.
