A lawsuit alleges that Google s exposure notification tool for COVID-19 contact tracing exposes user data.
A lawsuit seeking class-action status alleges that a security flaw in a Google COVID-19 contact-tracing tool is unwittingly exposing personal and medical information of millions of users to third parties through device system logs.
But Google says it reviewed the issue, updated the code and is ensuring the fix is rolled out to users.
The two plaintiffs filing the lawsuit, who both downloaded California state public health contact-tracing apps that incorporate the Google-Apple Exposure Notification, or GAEN, system, allege invasion of privacy as well as violations of the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.
