The hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow posted a software utility, called Goolag Scan, that uses Google to AUTOMATICALLY FIND PASSWORDS and other vulnerabilities. The tool enables any script kiddie to crack like a pro. The utility comes with about 1,500 pre-fab searches categorized as things like "vulnerable servers," "sensitive online shopping information" and "files containing juicy information."

Not good.
If were were living in a world where such data was scarce, then this would indeed be worrying. But we aren't. There is so much personal data available in so many trivial ways to those that wish to exploit it that the black hats simply can't use it all. So, in a way, be not afraid of this since the chances of *your* data being exploited are rapidly becoming the same as you getting struck by lightning.
