MOSCOW: Google said July 5 that its document writing tool Google Documents was secure even as Russian internet users discovered scores of files that appeared to be intended for private use. 

The Russian Internet company Yandex said in a statement that some users contacted the company July 4 to say that its public search engine was yielding what looked like personal Google Documents files, suggesting there may have been a data breach.
