Gmail bug allows senders to hide their identity

Software developer Tim Cotten has discovered a Gmail exploit that allows senders to hide their name and email address on emails they send, reports BleepingComputer.

According to Cotten, if users manipulate the "from" header in a specific way, they can hide their details from displaying in the gmail inbox of the recipient, instead just displaying the email's subject line.
