Severe security flaw of Google Buzz discovered
 
Google advertises that Gmail users can be fully protected by HTTPS,
and we assume this is also true for Gmail's built-in feature, Buzz.
But I have discovered that a Buzz user's ISP can see his private
posts! (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?
tid=47b3e8bfa84c7a06&hl=en)
I have talked with Google employees via email and their support forum
and they said they were discussing a solution. But after weeks, no
action is taken.
