Reading more about Google hacks recently for some reason
Tags :Rant
There is an interesting site out there called
Watching
Google Like a Hawk that has endless
articles and information on what Google is doing. Well one caught
my eye from the homepage on using Google to reverse engineer hacking. I
know this was probable of course, due to admins that don't know any better
posting information. So I went hunting on us and did find some of
our old ISP users (we used to have cheap dial-up service that was
a nice hit in the local market) were posting issues with sending or receiving
mail. Of course one also posted the login information to their mail
account. I think I need to go back and see if we cut them off for
sending spam :-)
What I did not know is that you can request
Google to remove certain cached information. So I have already went
down that path. Interesting the things you can do with Google. The
new trick seems to be getting control of remote photocopiers when web servers
are submitting information up.
Using Google hacks
-- requests typed into the search engine that bring up cached information
on networks -- hackers are discovering and using login details for networked
photocopiers so they can watch what is being copied.
