(Googler, opinions on my own) Are you sure this impacted multiple products? Reading the article the main reason he was able to exploit this for Google docs was the X-Frame-Options header. It's not clear that other products have this.

If it's not officially supported, it probably means it's just one or two people that open sourced it, and it would fall on them to keep it in sync with any internal work. Officially supported means it's actually owned by some

I'm a Googler, opinions are my own. A lot of the times engineers at Google will open source libraries or tools they have worked on, which go under the Google GitHub repo, but are attached with that language. This is basically saying th

I believe this is around when Google Fi expanded to support iOS? I think there were some admitted growing pains around that time, and they've worked to improve it since then. Hard to say.

(Googler, opinions on my own) This is a nice benefit of Google Fi. Since swap attacks are not possible with it, as customers support agents aren't able to do sim swaps. Sims for Google Fi are fully tied to your Google account, and you

Point taken. Maybe this was just one of many factors? I could also see that Google had products that were overlapping (Youtube and GPM), and they decided to merge them, and this is the way they did it? I definitely had friends that used Y
