Gmail users ehit by software glitch

Gmail users around the world saw errors and safety warnings over the weekend after google forgot to update a key part of the messaging software.
The problems arose because Google had neglected to renew a security certificate for Gmail and its app services. The certificate helps the software establish a secure connection to a destination,so messages can be sent with little fear they will be spied upon.
The problem was resolved about two hours after it was first noticed.
