Oops. Alphabet's credibility risks taking a big hit... While the firm is already under attackan investigation for violation of privacy because of its permanent tracking of our geolocation, now a new major scandal is ridiculing the firm miles fromprofessional positioningconfidentialityheld by its rival Apple.
This time, it is therefore its application which is used to store the photos taken with your phone which is concerned.Google Photoswould have simply sent photos recorded on the devices of certain people... To others, unknown, and who asked for nothing. Understand that your selfies may be on someone else's iPhone.
Who are the victims?
Fortunately, few people seem to have been affected by this bug. According to a statement sent by email to those affected, users who potentially had their photos leaked to who knows where are those who attempted aexport of their data between November 21 and 25. Plenty of time, in several months, to steal an identity if a passport scan was in the lot...

The flaw also applies to videos and the technical problem that caused it has since been resolved. Only "0,01%” Internet users who would have liked to download have been affected, but the best thing is to check your inbox this week (each victim has been notified) and your gallery on this date.
