This may have incorporated lists of sites, passwords and further responsive information. To band-aid the wounds, Google assure to stop its Street View cars from gather Wi-Fi network data completely.

However this was not sufficient. Disapproval ensues, with the cruelest coming from German representative. "Based on the in sequence we have before us, it appears that Google has unlawfully tapped into personal networks in infringement of German law. This is disturbing and further evidence that isolation law is a foreign idea to Google. Another official affirmed that the scandal would be investigated by a board of European nation data defense chiefs that counsel the European Commission.
