Police: Google illegally collected and stored personal data sent over unsecured Wi-Fi wireless networks. Police seized hard drives confiscated from Google’s Seoul office last August. Police: Hundreds of thousands of e-mails, instant messages and other personal data. Google Korea says it is “profoundly sorry” for having mistakenly collected payload data from unencrypted networks. 15 other countries, including U.S., Canada, Germany, France, Britain, and Australia, have been investigating whether Google broke their privacy laws.
