A researcher has spent most of his career looking for and exploiting the same kind of attack vectors that were used against Google et al. Dino Dai Zovi has taken a good look at the attacks and found that there was little to nothing new about them. He makes the point in an essay on the Google attack, saying that one vulnerability should not be game over for a corporate network. In other words, don t make life any easier for the attackers than it already is. Take the time to look at. the separation of duties and privileges inside your network and see whether there are ways to isolate access to sensitive data.
