Google admitted wrongly collected data over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks

Google has admitted that from the past three years it has wrongly collected information of the people, which have sent over unencrypted Wi-Fi networks. This issue came into limelight when German authorities asked to audit the data and they took photos viewed on Google maps.
Viewing these data, it was found out that Google has been mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open networks. The admission will increase concerns about potential privacy breaches. It came into news that as soon as this problem came into the eyes of the Google they start collecting Wi-Fi information and segregated the data on its network.

Google has now been asking a third party to review their software which caused the problem and examine them precisely and what data had been gathered. Google in recent past has been failed to maintain people trust on them. It also signifies that how unprotected Wi-Fi networks are present today.
