<p>Starting yesterday afternoon, the Hotmail account of California resident David Peck suddenly became a lot more popular. It's the result of a bug in Google search, which The Verge was able to reproduce. Search for "gmail" and the first result has a link with a tagline about Gmail's 10GB of storage and, ironically, lack of spam. Clicking that link causes a new window to pop up a Gmail box for composing a new email with Peck's handle already filled in on the address line.</p><p>"I've been getting thousands of no-subject, blank emails. 500 of them come every hour, I can't stop them," Peck told TechCrunch. "They're coming so fast, I want to stop them. I deleted everything last night and woke up this morning and had 1,900 new emails" he says. "Only two of them were emails I cared about."</p><p>It's unclear if this bug is related to today's Gmail outage. We have reached out to Google for comment and will update with any response.</p><p>Update: A Google spokesperson emailed to say that: "Due to a technical glitch, some email addresses on public webpages appeared too prominently in search results. We've fixed the issue and are sorry for any inconvenience caused."</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/24/5342486/google-search-bug-floods-random-mans-hotmail-account-with-10000">Keep reading...</a></p>
