darthcamaro writes "As part of its ongoing effort to keep a clean index Google is soliciting the help of all of us Google users to let them know when we find malware in the Google index.
Celebrated Google hacker Johnny Long thinks it's a good idea, though he told InternetNews.com that he doesn't think it'll stop real hackers. From the article:
"Most in search of malware for offensive use know the good stuff — it ain't distributed through public Web," Long said. "It's distributed through dark Web servers, peer-to-peer networks, IRC channels, torrents and the like.
"Google's efforts will not affect how skilled hackers get access to malware.""
