Leaked Google database flags several privacy and security failures from past: Report

A newly leaked Google database tracking potential privacy and security related incidents reported in the last six years suggests that Google may have accidentally done things like recording children’s voices, offering YouTube recommendations using a person’s deleted watch history, transcribing number plates of vehicles from Street View systems and more.

According to a recent report by 404 Media, the dataset, which was received from an anonymous tipster, includes privacy and security incidents reported internally by Google employees. These incidents includes reports about the company’s own data collection practices to vulnerabilities in third-party systems and range and also contain records of mistakes made by Google employees and contractors.
