Things you don't want Google's search to find
What private information of yours is on the Internet? You might not have uploaded the information yourself, it could have come from your school or employer. As McAfee's senior vice president for Risk Management George Kurtz demonstrated, a carefully worded search in Google will result in you finding all sorts of stuff you're not supposed to see.
These are photos of slides that were shown at the RSA Conference in San Jose this week:
A search for Payroll.xls turned up a nice overview of employees and their hourly wages.
Search for sites with "Remote desktop web connection" in the title, and you'll find... remote desktops that you can take over.
Want to assume a dead person's identity? You can easily find death records with a social security number. Just search for: ssn 111111111..999999999 death records.

Ok, that's just scary. I think I'll go through my server's files again. The problem is that people frequently don't realize how powerful google is, and assume that no one will ever try to access their site (comperable to leaving your front door unlocked and hoping no one will ever try to open it)
