Looks like two issues were discovered.
1. All passwords set by admins for other accounts since 2005 were impacted.
2. Also all passwords starting Jan 2019 were also stored un-hashed for 14 days.
- jkaplowitz 7y agoI have no inside info on this incident and haven't worked for Google in over 4 years, but the description of the 14-day 2019-only issue sounds like it would have affected only a subset of users whose data they included in a sample for troubleshooting purposes. The sample rate they use is probably far below 100%. (Once again: this is speculation based on general firsthand knowledge about how Google operates, but I know nothing specific to this incident.)
- owaislone 7y agoYes, of course. Not all but a different subset of passwords.
