Ever wondered what name is behind some obscure gmail address? Maybe your preferred gmail address was taken and you’re wondering who took it?

Here’s a cute vulnerability in the gmail system that comes from the strong tie-ins between gmail, the google calendar and all the other services.

How to do it:

– Go to the ‘share this calendar’ tab

– Enter the email address in the ‘person’ box

– Click ‘add person’ and ‘save’

– When you return to this screen you will see the first and last name along with the gmail address

I always wondered who was behind admin@gmail.com

Oh, I guess they figured people like me would be interested…

If you are getting personalized emails from spammers to your gmail account, here’s an idea on how they got your name.
