It's a fancy bit of PR-fu right here from Google, like releasing a jobs report right after a big hurricane hits so people don't notice it. A data breach is one thing, but the cover-up should put the nail in coffin of Google's image as benevolent good guys. They are basically Comcast now.
Is it a data breach if they know that nobody used it?
Just this weekend, I setup a domain name, setup email, and setup apps and accounts to replace Google with open-source software and servers I control, generally (I use some 3rd party services that I feel I can trust, like Fastmail and Namecheap). I then turned off and deleted all of my data from Google that I could without deleting my Google account (I need to forward this long-standing email to my new email and I don…

HA... Google is definitely doing Evil. I for one experienced personally when they invited my friend & I to discuss buying our app. They just wanted our secret sauce & after baiting us with promise of working together they us kicked us out and said the race is on. Now there was no guarantees we’d be working together but two guys with no connections is tricked by Google and told the race is on? Us vs. Google who later…
Ah yes, the perennial story of the lone inventor or two, with a world changing invention, who has their idea stolen by a big company. Did it ever occur to you that the idea of syncing video or audio playback across devices or people is not a new idea and is continually reinvented? I've been on the net since '86, and every brilliant idea I had in secret, I was surprised to learn had been thought of by others too. The…
So your saying it held no value to your employer and they have every right to treat the little guy dreamer inventors who do not have the right connections like dogs?
Also it wasn't nor isn't an idea rather algorithms we created in 2013 (have improved since) that just worked and work now... demo videos below...

How many vulns do you think companies find internally daily? Should every vuln be publicized?
If they potentially expose sensitive data, yes. Again, if an organization is certain that it hasn't then I'd say no. Sure, certain is a high bar but there's absolutely no way for people to make informed decisions and/or mitigate issues otherwise.

I would think it should be required to report. Just because you don’t know if a vulnerability was exploited does not mean it was not.
I assume cloud providers have hundreds of security issues that are found internally over the course of a year. Requiring reporting would certainly be a step forward and testing in production for software would maybe be seen as what it is, an engineering anomaly and failure to perform due diligence.

User IDs are definitely private info, since they'd allow you to follow a user's behaviour etc.
"user 1234567 viewed post 89564385943" I can see how that's private info, but would this be: "client x viewed user 1234567's profile"
