How come Google never has had a breach? Do they do a better job with security? Is Facebook more of a target than Google?

- libdjml 8y agoGood question, to which I don’t know the full answer. But if you look at their motto “move fast and break things”, insistence on pushing new features as fast as possible, and the recent clash and resignation of their CSO, I’d say google are just more mature about security, and understand their products are entirely reliant on trust of their users.

- Ivoirians 8y agoTechnically, these aren't breaches or leaks, they're vulnerabilities. Whether you believe data was exfiltrated is essentially a reflection of how much you trust or distrust Google.

- sifoobar 8y agoDoes it matter? I have a hard time thinking of a worse company to entrust with personal information. The reach of Google makes Facebook look like a joke. At least when it's leaking they're not making more money.
- QML 8y agoProbably the latter: the larger the value of a network, the more likely it is to attract attackers.
