Source Code To Google Authentication System Stolen 306
Aardvark writes "More details are coming out about the extent of the break-in at Google a few months ago. The NY Times is reporting that one of the things stolen was the source code to Google's single sign-on authentication system, called Gaia. Though Google is making changes to the system, the theft raises the possibility that attackers could analyze the code to find new exploits to take advantage of in the future. No wonder that Eric Schmidt recently said they've become paranoid about security."

That's why you need to look at it from a 45 degree angle.

Sorry kid, you got AIDS.
Yeah, from a blood transfusion... I guess you could call it that.
You have the superpower of being able to kill people painfully long after you are dead.
Now go to that evil petrol sheik's room and do your job! Death to polluters!

But then the bugs will appear to be in IE8.

The code was stolen, so they're going to have to rewrite it from scratch. You'd think Google would have had a backup somewhere, but maybe they stole that too.
