Looks like the 503 Errors with Firefox are really slowing down discussions.
The article mentioned that the new number range search feature in Google could be particularly dangerous. Maybe I'm a little naive... why is it so dangerous?
Suppose: 1. you trust some website to be secure with the credit card info you send to them. 2. disgruntled employee dumps list of customers' info into plaintext file upon firing, then copies and pastes it all over the web.
Also, I think some of those pages are old, stale lists of previously compromised cards compiled by the people that did the compromising.
please turn yourself in to your nearest police station for exposing a technology security flaw. you can car pool with the guy who discovered the shift key if you like.
I knew google was quite powerful. Recently there was a post regarding how it was possible to retreive passwords hosted on websites due to negligence or simple Frontpage Extensions.
This one is outright dangerous. At least my number wasn't listed!!
All those pages that were indexed were put there on purpose by somebody (usually it's a message board, or an IRC log, containing a list of "CC"s). This isn't google doing something that it normally doesn't do.
Moreover, I would wager if you try any of these CCs (provided the expiration isn't past already) that they won't work. Google, and anyone searching google, are seeing those CCs late in the game, after they've all been defrauded.
Geez, thanks for spoiling it for the rest of us.
Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to build a Lamborghini by mail ordering all the parts to different addresses from different Lamborghini dealers' repair shops?
I'm still missing the front hood, the bumpers, and the electrical system...
(It's FUNNY, SMILE!)
I just found a list of at least 100 numbers and details
Dont know if they are valid (and I dont intend to find out)
I also find it funny that some sites have past orders that I have had some fun browsing through. Who would have thought Mr Dean would have needed 3 pairs of pants in different sizes and colours:)

For example. Not saying this is the only way to find these, but it certainly is an interesting application of Google.

I mean, with security through obscurity, you have to at least make sure it's not making it to freaking google.

+5, Sad, maybe... You'd think security anywhere that takes a CC# would be a little better than this.

Just a thought:
If you Google your own card number, presumably that'll help you check your details aren't compromised and posted online this way?
