Second Google Desktop Attack Reported

[HardOCP News]

The Google Desktop vulnerability we told you about the other day has been exploited again for the second time in a week. The flaw could allow an attacker to have access to any data indexed by Google Desktop.

This is the second security problem reported this week for the software. On Wednesday, researchers at Watchfire said they'd found a flaw that could allow attackers to read files or run unauthorized software on systems running Google Desktop.

HA! I knew this was going to happen at some point! This was exactly the reason why I refused to this program (also b/c it eats up resources.)

The fact that my personal information would be listed on a website scared me for some reason and made me paranoid...plus I have all my stuff organized so I know where everything is.
