In any case, there is no mention of a external attack or a data breach, which had been readily hypothesized by the conspirators in the case. We have also talked about it in our daily lives. podcast yesterday, which we left below at the bottom of Google’s official statement.

Today at 3:47 am PT [12:47 ora italiana] Google encountered a disruption in the authentication system for approximately 45 minutes, due to an internal problem with the storage quota.

All services are now restored. We apologize to everyone who has been affected and will conduct a thorough review to ensure this issue does not recur in the future.
