• Google shuts down Google+ network

    Posted on October 8, 2018 at 12:43 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Google’s just now confirming that an API bug might’ve exposed private profile data for 500,000 Google+ users. Their response is to shut down Google+.

    I didn’t realize Google+ has 500,000 users.

    Catalin Cimpanu has the details on ZDNet.

    UPDATE: Big revelations coming from the Wall Street Journal. Is it possible that Sundar Pichai didn’t testify in front of the US Congressional Committee because he was afraid of being tripped up by the then-secret breach?
