Google announced it will close the consumer version of Google+ before than originally planned due to the discovery of a new security flaw. Google will shut down the Application programming interface programs (APIs) used by developers to access Google+ data within 90 days. The new flaw was introduced with a software update in November and it was discovered during routine testing and quickly fixed by the experts of the company. The vulnerability affected approximately 52.5 million users, allowing applications to see profile information such as name, occupation, age, and email address even if access was set to private.”]
