Why One Guy Is Accidentally Getting Thousands of Your Emails

David S. Peck's email inbox is overflowing, and Google is to blame

In a possible connection to the Gmail outage affecting millions of users on Friday, Peck, who is based in Fresno, Calif., is reportedly receiving thousands of emails due to a glitch in Google's search results

By typing in "Gmail.com" into the Google search tool and selecting the "email" link (where it says 10+ GB of storage above), a blank email template pops up in Gmail. Peck's Hotmail address automatically populates within the "to" field.
