Google disclosed that a small number of G Suite enterprise users had their passwords stored on its systems in plaintext since 2005, without any level of encryption
A folder containing Google LLC's applications is displayed on a Huawei Technologies Co. P20 Pro smartphone in an arranged photograph taken in Hong Kong, China, on Monday, May 20, 2019. Top U.S. corporations from chipmakers to Google have frozen the supply of critical software and components to Huawei, complying with a Trump administration crackdown that threatens to choke off China's largest technology company.
Google has a policy of storing passwords in its system with cryptographic hashes that can mask those passwords to ensure security. Google’s systems do not typically remember the exact characters of a password when a user is signing in, instead of relying on a string of numbers and letters encrypted and scrambled with a “hash function.”
"Google knows better, but it is unlikely this data was intentionally left exposed in this way for this long. Not excusing the lapse, but information security in 2005 was very different than modern practices," said Matt Wilson, chief information security officer at , a cybersecurity consulting firm."How this went unnoticed for so long is amazing, and speaks to the difficulty that organizations face in 'plugging every hole' in their environment.

Trump Demands Investigation Into Whether Clintons Gave Him Non-Registry Wedding Gift In 2005WASHINGTON—Explaining that such a miscarriage of justice would not be tolerated under his watch, President Donald Trump reportedly demanded a federal investigation Monday into whether Bill and Hillary Clinton gave him a non-registry wedding gift in 2005. “Given the fact that Melania and I have no recollection of ever asking for a cast-iron Dutch oven, I am calling on the Justice Department to launch a full-scale investigation into whether the Clintons blatantly ignored our wedding registry,” said the commander in chief at a campaign rally, holding up the cooking pot while revealing that he had already directed several DOJ agents to go through all the gifts they received to determine if the former first family completely skipped over their requested luggage set, blender, and comforter in favor of getting their own unregistered present. “No one’s talking about it since they have the biased media in their pocket, but these people are totally corrupt and should spend the rest of their lives in prison for getting us this hideous pot, which clashes with all our other cookware.” At press time, Trump speculated, “Those sickos probably bought the Dutch oven with Clinton Foundation blood money,” as the crowd burst into a “Lock them up” chant.
