yeah... nobody really used + hardly at all anyways

Oh man this is very serious, but seriously a third-party app right in theirs backyard and they didn't know about it ? no wonder our data is easily sold to anyone.. thank you for sharing.

It certainly is... I know I made light of it but your data integrity should be sacred. The fact that they did not announce the breach is disconcerting.

Up to 438 different third-party applications may have had access to private information due to the bug.

Another scary issue is the legislation in California regarding personally identifiable information.

In California, where Google is headquartered, companies are only required to disclose a data leak if it includes both an individual’s name and their Social Security number, ID card or driver’s license number, license plate, medical information or health insurance information.

You can't fart in California due to environmental legislation but you can have all the personal data you want...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha this is very shady...

Whaaaat? Oh for &@$! sake! Not even Google can protect its social media platform members? I can’t actually remember the last time I posted to Goo+ but I will check out the story. Grr.

Yup, delete, delete, and delete.

lol Google security breach. let's all just say what we already know: no data anywhere is ever totally safe, ever

That there is the truth. Know what you have out there and audit it constantly.
