Google+ was never hacked, but there was a dodgy API endpoint that let you view profile data set to private.

- AmericanChopper 7y agoSo it wasn’t hacked, it just had an exploitable end point, that was exploited?
- qtplatypus 7y agoIt had an exploitable end point that wasn’t exploited and google shut down G+ rather then let it become exploited.
- cameronbrown 7y agoMy theory is that it was less embarrassing than saying they failed so spectacularly. A shame really.
- qtplatypus 7y agoI suspect that fixing the bug would have cost more then G+ was making them. Which is a pity because the world needed a nonfacebook social media platform.
