German prosecutors investigating Google
By
German prosecutors are investigating Google Inc. on suspicion of violating privacy laws by recording fragments of people’s online activities through unsecured Wi-Fi networks. Hamburg prosecutor Wilhelm Moellers told the news agency DAPD that his office launched the investigation after a complaint was filed against undisclosed Google employees over the incident last Friday.
“The tapping of data is believed to have taken place over unsecured Wi-Fi networks in connection with ‘Street View'” activity, Moellers said. “We will above all have to clarify whether the offense was deliberate.”
