Mr. Chair, the announcement that Google made when they identified the “oops”, as you say, was a public announcement in May of 2010, announcing to the world that they had inadvertently collected payload data. They immediately halted their automobiles and immediately halted further collection of Wi-Fi data.
In the course of our investigation, to my knowledge there was no indication to lead us to suspect that anything untoward had been done with the data that had been inadvertently collected. As soon as it was identified, as I said earlier, the investigators were confident that appropriate security measures had immediately kicked in and segregated and secured the data appropriately.
We have no knowledge or any reason to believe, from the basis of the investigation, that anything untoward was done with the data that were collected.
