Gmail Glitch Deletes 150000 Email Accounts
Tens of thousands of Gmail users found themselves locked out of their accounts Sunday, a glitch Google engineers were still struggling to fix and fully understand Monday.
Initial reports suggested as many as half a million accounts were compromised, the e-mails collected over the years potentially permanently erased. Google acknowledged the issue. Monday afternoon the company lowered the number of affected users to just 0.02% of accounts - a small number that nonetheless translates into a large number accounts.
Google has warned the users through its App Status Dashboard, "Google Mail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change."
