Online Search Engines Lift Cover Of Privacy

Posted by timothy on from the bathwater-around-the-baby dept.

Rican writes "MSNBC has an interesting article about how 'Googledorks' are using the powerful search engine to do searches across the web for sensitive and/or private information. Some of this information includes 'Medical records, bank account numbers, students' grades, and the docking locations of 804 U.S. Navy ships, submarines and destroyers.'"

    Ok, Lets make some connections here people:

    This article places the google search engine as the medium for this activity.

    This article is from MSNBC.

    MSNBC is owned by Micro$oft

    Wasn't Micro$oft trying to compete with Google for search engine market?

    Someone please tell me I'm just being paranoid
