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?
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.

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