Source Code To Google Authentication System Stolen

Aardvark writes "More details are coming out about the extent of the break-in at Google a few months ago. The NY Times is reporting that one of the things stolen was the source code to Google's single sign-on authentication system, called Gaia. Though Google is making changes to the system, the theft raises the possibility that attackers could analyze the code to find new exploits to take advantage of in the future. No wonder that Eric Schmidt recently said they've become paranoid about security."

    Yeah, and whoever modded me redundant also caught you in the crossfire. I'm starting to think there should be a simple exam before you can mod. If, say, two comments are posted within a minute or so of each other and you mod them redundant, then you fail and never get to mod.
