Η Goldman Sachs Group Inc asked Google to delete an email that he accidentally sent to the wrong account.
Yes, you read that right. A colleague sent her confidentially data of its customers into a Gmail account by mistake, and Goldman Sachs, wanting to avoid a "useless and massive" breach of privacy, asked Google to intervene.
To this end, the bank has asked a US judge to order Google Inc. to delete the annoying message.
According to the complaint, the message was sent on June 23 and included highly confidential brokerage account information. It is unknown how much customer data is included in the e-mail, after all, Goldman didn't disclose it, but enlisted Google's help. The two companies have apparently already discussed the matter, and Google has announced that it could help if there was a court order, which shouldn't really surprise anyone given that the company typically requires court orders for activities that involve tampering with accounts and data. users.
Η Goldman Sachs says her partner, who was in charge of checking for changes in the bank's internal procedures, wanted to send the report with the company's customer details to a gs.com account, but the message ended up in a gmail account. .com ”which had a similar name.
The bank was unable to get a response from the Gmail account owner, so he contacted Google.
Considering how much time has passed since the email was sent, it is hard to believe that it has not been read, and the data has not been saved by the email owner.
So the deletion of email from Google seems a bit pointless now. However, some suggestions in her complaint Goldman Sachs they look quite interesting. The company states on the one hand that the disclosure would be a violation of privacy, and therefore shows that it cares about the rights of its customers, and on the other hand talks about avoiding "defamation" of the company,
It looks like Goldman is trying to hide the data for more than one reason, and it should be interesting to see if the information has been leaked, or if Google has managed to delete the message.
