Page 6 of 16 ) 
Before joining the search marketing giant as an information security engineer, Michal Zalewski launched an all-out assault on the security models of modern Web browsers, exposing critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Now a member of Google's security team, he continues to find and report bugs in Apple's Mac OS X and to use his hacking skills to help secure Google's long list of Internet-facing products.
