Google: Hacks into Microsoft WGA Protected Pages

Posted by Harsha

Google was recently in news for indexing password protected pages of a North Carolina school website, now it has indexed pages from Microsoft site where it requires users first to download Windows Genuine Advantage(WGA) before they can get to the actual page.

Microsoft recently had released free software Private Folder 1.0 for download, to download this software the users had to first download ActiveX Windows Genuine Advantage(WGA) which actually checks if windows is Genuine, and only later they were taken to the actual page for the software download. Surprisingly the GoogleBot has indexed the actual link to the software bypassing the Windows Genuine Advantage check [check screenshot].
