> Google is one of the few companies known to have caught, fired, and officially publicly named an employee who did something like this Not disagreeing with your broader point, but that specific employee was not caught by Google but was reported externally by parents of the minors after abusing access for months. I suspect the incident you linked predates - and was the impetus for - many controls that were subsequently added Speaking speculatively: I've never worked for Google
