GOOGLE+ IS BEING SCUTTLED FOLLOWING DISASTROUS DATA BREACH

STRUGGLING SOCIAL NETWORK GETS A MINUS FOR SECURITY.

Google has announced it’s kicking its floundering social media platform Google+ to the curb after a Wall Street Journal report revealed that the tech giant had been hiding the news of a massive security breach on the platform. The breach, caused by an API, left the personal information of about 500,000 users exposed, although Google insists there is “no evidence that any developer was aware of this bug, or abusing the API”.
