Since Google announced its cloud platform back in 2006, the company has become one of the most well-known providers of online services. Millions of people use Google services every day, from searching the web to keeping their email addresses and calendars up-to-date.
So it’s no surprise that there have been a number of high-profile hacks against Google-owned companies in recent years.
In March of this year, security researchers discovered that the Google Docs application was vulnerable to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack. This attack allows hackers to inject malicious code into a web page, which can then be executed by unsuspecting visitors.
Google quickly patched the vulnerability and issued a warning to users.
In June of last year, security researchers discovered that Google’s Android operating system was vulnerable to a vulnerability that could allow hackers to take control of an Android device. The vulnerability was patched within a few days, but it’s still worth being aware of.
In April of this year, security researchers discovered that Google’s Gmail service was vulnerable to a hacking attack that could allow hackers to access users’ email addresses and passwords. Google quickly patched the vulnerability and issued a warning to users.
So far in 2017, Google has been the victim of two major hacks. In January, researchers discovered that the Google Drive application was vulnerable to a hacking attack that could allow hackers to access users’ files.
In May of this year, researchers discovered that the Google Ads service was vulnerable to a hacking attack that could allow hackers to access users’ account information and personal data.
So has Google Cloud been hacked?
Yes, Google Cloud has been hacked on two separate occasions in 2017. However, it’s important to note that Google has quickly patched the vulnerabilities and issued warnings to users. So far in the year, the company has not been the victim of a major hack.
So it’s likely that Google Cloud is still safe to use. However, it’s always a good idea to be aware of potential security risks and to keep your information safe.
