Posted by timothy on from the careful-who-sees-you-polishing-the-resume dept.

mystikkman writes "In what is a serious bug, GMail Chat/GTalk/Google Hangouts is sending messages to unintended recipients. ZDNet has confirmed first-hand that the glitch is present within Google Apps for Business accounts, including those that have not yet switched over to Google's new Hangouts platform. Messages appear to be visible on the mobile version of Hangouts. There are multiple reports of this issue."

      I'm a regular poster and haven't had mod points in over two years. I'm getting a little annoyed.

      On the other hand I post very rarely and sometimes I have mod points even when I don't post. Maybe somehow slashdot also sends mod points to wrong users?

    Such bugs are usually there in Beta releases. This will be fixed in the Production Release.
