I predict a google phish

February 11, 2006

So, this whole “Search Across Computers” thing. It disturbs me. I’d feel more comfortable with a hole in my home firewall allowing instant access, hello Remote Desktop, than knowing that my favorite search engine is holding on to my files. Eeegad. What if Google started grabbing images off our hard drives? I know the idea is that nothing short of legal action would get them to release our private information, and I know that they are fighting the whole silly, give us search records so we can fight child porn. Uh, yeah, that will work. Little do they know we can all accidentally stumble across child porn on the web. I’m mortified by some of the things that I find on the Internet in the course of research.

Anyways…

The Kaspersky Lab has predicted that hackers will try to gain access to Google accounts to penetrate the wealth of information that this new “feature” will provide access to. I’m going to keep my eye out for more Google phishing.

Lord knows it wouldn’t be the first time someone tried…
