A software vulnerability in the Google+ social media network gave third-party developers potential access to users’ private Google+ profile information for more than three years. Google ran tests to determine the impact of the vulnerability and found 496,951 users who had shared private profile data with a friend could have had data accessed by an outside developer, according to published reports. |

If you have a Google+ profile, here’s the information that may have been exposed:
- Full names
- Email addresses
- Birth dates
- Gender
- Profile Photos
- Places lived
- Occupation
- Relationship status

Google says there is no evidence that any data has been misused, at the time of this writing. Since Google+ stores a limited set of activity logs, it is unable to determine the profiles that were affected. |
