Security professionals warned developers on Thursday that they need to be aware that their open-source repositories can now be easily mined, allowing attackers to target programs that are likely to be flawed. While Google could previously be used to look for specific strings, now the search engine riffles through code that much better.

All dissavantages have an advantage ... Smiley So probably the sources will be patched very soon and programmers will learn something from that (Secure coding).

Thanks for the warning.  Hopefully Google will get it taken care of sooner rather than later.
