Google Can Steal Your Data

Amichai Shulman, the founder and CTO of Imperva, a database and application security company said that nowadays hacker use search engines, like Google to steal data. By using Google, hackers are able to know social security number from web sites. Security social number presents in the web are the fact, and it is human error. This information should be not published there.
However, Hackers use Google by using sophisticated methods to automate attacks to web sites. Recent days, Imperva found a way to execute SQL injecting attacks which come from IP address owned by Google. In a SQL injecting attack, there is a bad instruction in the form based on web and is answered by web application. This condition often makes sensitive information from back-end database and will be used to enter bad-intention-codes into the web page.
Actually, hackers love manipulating Google because of anonymous characteristic.
The other attack method is Google worms. This method uses search engines to find weaknesses. The weaknesses can be exploited by adding additional codes.
Seeing this condition, Google and other search engines are taking some ways to stop this attack. For example, Google has stopped certain searching methods which can produce a group of social security numbers in one sweep. Google also limits the amount of searching demand.
