As I look at the Google security incident, I realize that if the hacker successfully penetrated a work station on Google's corporate network, could the same technique not be used against a financial institution using the same malicious software? If this is true, then am I correct in assuming that any financial institution is vulnerable to this type of penetration? In a way, is a payment processing service like Google Checkout or Paypal just as vulnerable as the standard Google network? Is it true that web developers still use IE 6 as a test and validation candidate for new applications and website design - to make sure things are backward compatible? If yes, aren't you supposed to sandbox it as much as possible? How did Google miss that?Thanks
