Google as a password cracker

By Court 418 days ago from http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org

This is a spooky story about how the Light Blue Touchpaper was hacked. The attacker was able to create a WordPress account for the site, which he then promoted to be an administrator. While investigating this attacker, Light Blue Torchpaper was able to find his password by doing some searches in Google. It's pretty technical, but really interesting if you know about programming.

I don't think Google had this in mind when they created their database and search engine. :)
