No! No! You're mistaken Google! Its HIGHLY recommended that you crush any bug reports, silence complainers and pretend everything is perfectly okay! It's not like hackers can break into databases that easily!

/sarcasm

On serious note, I wish more companies would adopt something similar to Google's tactic of bug-hunting. Nothing more irritating when you submit several well-done bug reports (if there is a bug-reporting system) and then watch that inactive company get smashed in the face a few months later when hackers discover the bugs.

Sounds to me like you don't know what your talking about.
Anyway, it isn't like Google is insecure.. They probably hold the most costly information possible to steal.

Like everybody who has ever used any of its services.. lol.

the + on this is that the company is willing to shell out money on its free products like Chrome and alike... firefox/ie/safari are all free but do not pay you if you can find bugs ... sounds to me like I would use the one that people are paid to find bugs in.
