1. > Over half a million UniSuper members failed to access their accounts after Google Cloud accidentally deleted the private cloud account of the Australian pension fund worth $125 billion.

   >The week-long outage resulted in widespread frustration and concern. Although service restoration commenced on Thursday, it may take some time for investment balances to reflect accurate figures.

   > In a joint statement, UniSuper CEO Peter Chun and Google Cloud global CEO Thomas Kurian expressed deep regret over the incident, reassuring members that no personal data was compromised.

   >“UniSuper had backups in place with an additional service provider. These backups have minimised data loss, and significantly improved the ability of UniSuper and Google Cloud to complete the restoration,” it said.

2. Most Google products don’t work like intended anymore.

3. Backups are in place, so that’s good. I wouldn’t have *even $100 of some data sitting around without at least 4 backups. Hell, I even make regular encrypted backups of my pr0n.

5. when they say they cant delete your info remember its bullshit.

6. Probably related to the layoffs.

7. Wild. I wonder how many backups they have in other places.

8. Back ups suddenly say there’s only 120billion.

9. This after the weekly news of “accidentally” leaking 5 million user data .

10. Just press ctrl + Z and problem solved

11. Thats the 08 gfc for some people.
    Expect suicides to go up.
    According to Mr Rudd he brought In laws to make this impossible to ever happe again.
    Seems as usual Labor has fucked us.
    Absolutely brilliant belabour.

12. I think it’s time to move my files

13. This is what happens when you fire good engineers and replace them with sub par incompetent ones from third world.

14. And Google still refuses to delete a private App I uploaded to our company App Store stating it’s being used, when in fact it was installed on a singular device 🫠

15. Sometimes it’s still in the Recycle Bin. Did they check?

16. This has been covered to death for over five days, let it go already.

17. Wonderful. Remember this if you ever feel like you’re not good enough to work at Google.

18. Good, maybe this will wake people up to stay the fuck away from Google products

19. another reason to drop the cloud.

20. Decentralization isn’t just a buzzword.

21. At least they are sensible enough to have backup data with a different provider.
    Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

22. Again?
