Reports of Google Vulnerabilities Increasing

I read this morning that there were reports of Gmail sanecurity vulnerabilities.

Via Philipp: "A lengthy and detailed report at Elhacker.net says hackers were able to kidnap and get access to any Gmail account. According to the report, the security hole (discovered on October 14) was fixed on October 18."

Other recent Google-related vulnerabilities include:
Google Mini Security Issue
Google Sitemaps Security Flaw
Google Base Security Flaw (XSS (cross-site scripting) security hole)

This plus recent Google outages Philipp's talking about?

Google's going to have to beef up their attention to both performance and security or face losing the trust of web marketers.

Watch for web analytics firms to highlight the security and performance of their offerings in future marketing efforts. That's what I'd do :)

Don't slip up or get got.
