Google Cloud accidentally deletes a financial institution account due to ‘unprecedented misconfiguration’ (www.theguardian.com)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

62 comments fedilink hide all child comments

A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says "it won't happen anymore", it's insane that there's the possibility of "instant delete everything"

Why do you think it's invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?

[–] IsThisAnAI 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because they've never read the terms of the paid for services.

Enterprise Google products != free Gmail.

Lots of comments here conflating consumer google accounts with google cloud.

Google is one of the most privacy invasive companies in the world. And judging by encryption standards, terms of service and privacy policies

Are you sure you've not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don't fully understand?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Yes. I read Google's policies many times.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn't take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you're actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.

Bruh, Google doesn't offer any enterprise services, duh. Every single thing they do follows the rules of free Gmail!

[–] IsThisAnAI 2 points 7 months ago

Then please, point out the specific policies you are referring to. And don't bother with consumer services. I'm looking for the enterprise services that a business would use. So which policies do you take issue with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

and you know the security standards that are achievable on google cloud entirely negate your point right? their cloud offering is a totally different beast
