Google Vulnerabilities

Hiya
 
Hopefully no-one has fallen for this, but many more may exist on other sites such as Yahoo:
 
Google have fixed a phishing vulnerability that was discovered by Netcraft on Wednesday. Google notified Netcraft that they had closed the vulnerability today at 06:30 BST, making this less-than-two-days response much faster than the two years reported by Jim Ley when he discovered a separate but similar bug.  
 
Both problems would have allowed fraudsters to inject their own content onto Google’s web site, making the content appear to be published by Google. This is a very effective form of phishing, as people are more likely to trust content if it appears to be hosted on a familiar domain.

Google Desktop view Web History archive Problem
Reply #1 - 12/13/10 at 15:18:21
 
Hiya  
 
Google Desktop Search is a freely available tool for searching through email, computer files, chats, and Web pages viewed for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and later. Google Desktop Search version Beta 100504 could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information. Disabling the option to archive web history only stops future archiving and fails to delete the web history from the index. A local attacker could use this vulnerability to recover the Web History archive.  
 
Platforms Affected:  
 
Google: Google Desktop Search Beta 100504  
Microsoft Corporation: Windows 2000 SP3 and later  
Microsoft Corporation: Windows XP Any version
