"Some of the nation's most influential former military
and intelligence officials have been informed in recent
days that they are at risk of identity theft after a
break-in at a major government contractor netted computers
containing the Social Security numbers and other personal
information about tens of thousands of past and present
company employees."

ISTR that this sort of thing was explicitly disallowed by Google's policies
at one point, and was grounds for exclusion from the engine.

I somehow doubt (post-IPO) that this policy is enforced any longer. :slight_smile:
