Search personalization could be the next "virus attack". G and other SEs will need to do some serious research to avoid this, but will they until it is too late?

In fact, is it already happening? I've seen reports hereabouts from a few people that their SE results are not always what they expect and cannot explain why.

...'automated censorship' is increasingly commonplace online... report claims researchers have managed to enumerate and modify Internet users’ search history with cross-site request forgery attacks. [threatpost.com...]

This isn't the only exploit scenario addressed in the posting.
