And Google's personalized homepage isn't the only such service to show signs of untrustworthiness.

Recently, hackers have discovered that Google Calendar can be a trove of information for outsiders looking for details about conference calls and other group events that organizers presumably wanted to keep private. Want proof? Log in to Google Calendar and search for "moderator passcode." (Our thanks to the folks at Zero Day for the useful search term.)
