Novi detalji o napadima na Google (u prosincu 2009) isplivavaju na površinu. Čini se da su napadači na Google ukrali puno više nego što je Google objavio. Neimenovana osoba koja sudjeluje u istrazi tvrdi da je u napadu duboko pogođen i Google-ov sustav zaporki - Gaia. Sustav omogućava korisnicima i zaposlenicima da se samo jednom prijave u sustav i dobiju pristup svim servisima, tzv. single-sign-on. Čini se da napadači nisu ukrali same zaporke Gmail korisnika, već kȏd Gaia sustava. To ostavlja mogućnost da će napadači s vremenom pronaći sigurnosne propuste koji su možda promakli Google-ovim programerima.
