[nsp-sec] Thoughts on the mass SQL injections

I was doing a search on google for one of the domain names being  
injected to add malicious javascript to web pages and I suddenly  
realized that the combination of these domain names[1] and google  
searches, malicious individuals could easily hunt for verified SQL  
injection vulnerabilities.  Based on my attacks against sites on our  
network, I can only imagine how many of these sites have sensitive  
data which is just waiting for someone to come along and take  
advantage of it.

To the Google guys, is anyone there working to remove or hide these  
results from searches?  It seems like it could be a boon to the  
internet community at large if these vulnerable sites weren't quite so  
easy to find.
