Google plays down security concerns over Docs

28.03.2009
Due to a reporting error, the story "Google plays down security concerns over Docs" and its update, both posted March 28, misstated the percentage of Google Docs files affected by a security bug earlier this month.

The story and the update have been corrected on the wire and the last paragraph in both articles now reads:

Earlier this month, Google acknowledged that a glitch in Docs caused some documents to be exposed to users without proper permission. The problem occurred among users who had previously shared documents. The company said it affected fewer than 0.05 percent of documents.
