Here is just a very small sample of what is included in this database that we obtained and verified.

404media.co/google-leak-reveal

Some other incidents marked with high priority or are otherwise notable in the database include: ¢ A filter that was supposed to stop childrens’ voices from being collected was not correctly applied. ¢ A person modified customer accounts on AdWords, what Google’s ad platform was named at the time, to manipulate affiliate tracking codes on EIEN ¢ The global security team warned that it was expecting a dawn raid of a Google office in Jakarta in April 2017 (a similar incident did happen in September 2016). e Waze carpool’s feature leaked the trips and home addresses of other users. * A Google employee accessed private videos in Nintendo’s YouTube account, and leaked information ahead of Ninendo’s planned announcements. An internal interview concluded the activity was “non- intentional,” the report says. e Sabre, a travel agent that Google uses, was compromised and Google employee payment information was exposed. e A quirk in Android’s keyboard meant that children were pressing the microphone button, resulting in Google logging audio from children as part of the launch of the YouTube Kids app. ¢ YouTube made recommendations based on videos users had deleted from their watch history, which was against YouTube’s own policy.

@josephcox I wonder if that Sabre incident is covered in mandatory breach notices?

@josephcox Damn though, that "Recommendations based on what you delete" sounds awesome, I would LOVE to be able to send a "Never show me anything like this again" signal. No wonder it was against policy.

@uastronomer @josephcox huh? That IS possible. That's the signal you send by saying not interested or don't recommend channel!
