NEW YORK: Goldman Sachs Group Inc on Wednesday said Google Inc has blocked access to an e-mail containing confidential client data that a contractor sent to a stranger's Gmail account by mistake, an error that the bank said threatened a "needless and massive" breach of privacy.
The breach occurred on June 23 and included "highly confidential brokerage account information," Goldman said in a complaint filed on Friday in a New York state court in Manhattan. Goldman did not say how many clients were affected. It has been seeking a court order compelling Google to delete the e-mail, which it said on Wednesday had yet to occur.
