Follow up to Several State Attorneys General Announce Probes of Google Wireless Data Collection, this news release: “Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today on behalf of the executive committee of a 38-state coalition asked Google whether it tested its Street View software before use — which should have revealed that the program collected data transmitted over wireless computer networks. Google has acknowledged unauthorized collection of data — possibly including emails, passwords, web browsing and other confidential information – but called it a mistake. In a letter to Google, Blumenthal also asks whether the company’s program was designed to collect random bits of information broadcast over wireless networks or download specific types of data and whether it has sold or otherwise used technical network information also collected.”
