  The title says "data breach," but that's not what actually happened. They had a security vulnerability and fixed it. Yes, that's bad, but the title makes it sound like it was exploited, which would have been worse.

  Well, this is more... important reason to shut down G+, than because of non-popularity and lack of users.
