There's been a Google+ breach. The tech giant announced in a blog post this week (October 8th, 2018) that they are sunsetting their wildly unpopular consumer version of Google+. While it would normally be a very big deal to shutter a major social media channel, this was a weird exception. As an NPR reporter said on the radio this week, "The surprising thing wasn't that Google+ suffered a massive data breach, or that Google is shutting it down, it's that it was still around at all."
