Google has admitted that some of its business customers of G Suite (formerly known as Google Apps) had their passwords stored on the companys internal servers for 14 years in plaintext. Google admits that way back in 2005 it made a mistake when coding a password recovery feature in the G Suite admin console which caused unscrambled plaintext passwords to be stored on its servers. Google says it has seen no evidence of improper access to or misuse of the sloppily-stored credentials.”]
