Dutch certificate authority DigiNotar, which was hacked in July, has never acknowledged the number of fraudulent certificates the hackers managed to obtain, nor identified the possible targets other than Google. But a Dutch security consultant told ComputerWorld this week that “about 200 certificates were generated by the attackers.” Hans Van de Looy, who spoke with the publication, wouldn’t reveal his source, but the number he cited is close to the number of certificates that Google has since placed on the blacklist for its Chrome web browser. On Monday, Google increased the number of certificates its browser was blacklisting from 10 to 247.

However, for users who don't trust Daniel's claims, they may wish to use the anonymizing TOR proxy in parallel with Scroogle. What Daniel's site shows, is that privacy preserving search is possible. While Scroogle doesn't show any ads, if Google offered this service, they could still make a buck on it. Imagine that--making money, while not being evil.
