Google Links Tool Shows Other Sites’ Links, Too

The new backlinks checker of the Google Webmaster Tools has a bug that lets you see all the backlinks of unverified sites, too. This allowed me to check all backlinks for Google.com, for example, and download the links table as CSV file. Even though I don’t see a security issue with this (the links are public to begin with), and even though the details of this bug have been posted on other sites, I’ll omit the specifics for now and rather alerted Google so they can fix this. But here are a couple of backlink counts I retrieved:
Google.com: 1,432,908 backlinks(in comparison, the “link:” operator shows a backlink count of 1,750,000)
Yahoo.com: 1,431,186 backlinks(in comparison, the “link:” operator shows a backlink count of 1,990,000 )
MSN.com: 839,927 backlinks
TechCrunch.com: 268,732 backlinks
Digg.com: 492,480 backlinks
BoingBoing.net: 920,345 backlinks
SearchEngineLand.com: 25,841 backlinks
Waxy.org/links: 79,428 backlinks
MicroPersuasion.com: 195,541 backlinks
