Google says Google+ bug affected 52.5 million users

New York (CNN Business)Google will shut down its Google+ social network much sooner than planned after discovering a second bug that revealed millions of customers’ private information to software developers.

In a blog post, the company said 52.5 million people were affected by a bug in a November software update. The latest bug allowed app developers to access profile information not marked public. App developers inadvertently had access to this data for six days.
Google said it detected the issue during regular testing, and fixed it within a week of discovery.
