Not just Google.

But every cloud provider of any size will eventually if not already fall to attacks such as this. If you put your data in the cloud you are trusting people you don't know with the future of your organization. If your data is in the cloud, chances are it has already been compromised. And it is up for sale. Your future is up for sale.

Networks the size of Google cannot be managed securely because too many people have access. This won't be the last time this happens. As a matter of fact it is unlikely that Google has actually contained the full extent of the breach. Attacks such as this most likely require shutting down major parts if not all of the network to totally eradicate the trojans hiding in the lurch. You can bet data is still being leaked.
