Weird that the title says 'accidentally' when other companies aren't given that kind of credit. Real talk, do we give internet companies (Google/Facebook) more leniency than traditional companies (Equifax/Target) in data leaks/hacks?
- mbesto 9y agoNo, but if you've ever done security before, you would know that it's a matter of "not if I hacked but when". Judging from their response, they seem to have pretty good procedures in place. Conversely, Equifax took months to respond and pulled a "it's not our fault".
- IntronExon 9y agoGoogle and Facebook have proven themselves about as trustworthy as a pair of starving animals, and frankly it took time and a lot of benefit of the doubt before plenty of people arrived at that conclusion. In the words of Nixon they “Earned everything [they] got.”
- matt_wulfeck 9y agoAm I missing something? Among the companies I would trust not to leak or expose my password (or incidentally collect it plaintext) google would be high on that list.
- bigiain 9y agoIt wouldn't surprise me greatly to notice Google serving me targeted advertising linked to key words in my password... "What're all these batteries and horses and staples doing coming up in my advertising???"
