In the latest news concerning Google+, a new security breach has been uncovered that will ultimately lead to the early shutdown of the service. This breach compromised the personal information of thousands of users, raising concerns about data protection and privacy.
The breach occurred due to a bug in the Google+ API that allowed developers to access the private profile information of users, even if they had not granted permission. This vulnerability was discovered and fixed by Google, but not before it had already been exploited by malicious actors.
Google has announced that they will be shutting down the consumer version of Google+ earlier than planned as a result of this breach. They will also implement stricter data privacy measures and increase security protocols to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Here are some common questions related to the Google+ security breach:
Reports indicate that up to 500,000 users had their personal information exposed due to the Google+ API bug.
The exposed data included names, email addresses, occupation, gender, and age of affected Google+ users.
To safeguard their personal information, users are advised to review their privacy settings, limit the amount of data shared on social media platforms, and be cautious when granting permissions to third-party apps.
