Scary Google Hack

Posted by Xyiko | | Posted on 7:51:00 PM

I just learned from visiting KevinRose.com that it seems Google has added number span searching to their search engine. You are now able search for something not just by name but price range, but if used the wrong way any person could use the engine to search a span of numbers to find credit card numbers. (Kevin has an example on his site). Just thought everyone should know, and that you could be just one google search away from ID theft. (Scary thought, huh?)

Can I list my numbers with an appeal for someone to pay the bills?

Hi Dozer, read your article and followed it to Kevin's. Very interesting. As you already know I used these as a base for my one. See http://robsta.id.au/2004/08/google-hacks.shtml.
