A California federal judge has ordered Google to temporarily de-activate a Gmail account after a bank mistakenly sent sensitive data to the account.
U.S. District Judge James Ware also ordered Google to disclose the identity of the Gmail account holder.
The Rocky Mountain Bank of Wyoming sued Google to obtain the account holder's name after a bank employee erroneously e-mailed an attachment to the account containing sensitive information on 1,325 individual and business bank customers. The attachment contained customer names, addresses, Tax ID and Social Security numbers and loan information.
