While I feel bad for him, this is not an unknown type of attack, it's just XSRF. It's a sad thing to happen, but you just have to be careful where you click out there.

The page where it's explained how the exploit works says that that flaw was fixed on 28/06/07 (3 days after was described). David went on vacation at the end of November. I think the hijacker simply set up manually filters to have transfer confirmations delivered directly to his email. I don't think in this case the problem is Google, I will investigate on poor password management; he checked his emails from an internet café, I wouldn't do that, looks to me as a general indication of low security awareness.
