If you\u2019ve ever hit \u2018send\u2019 on an email only to regret it later, Goldman Sachs can sympathize with you. It\u2019s seeking a court order to have one containing client data, sent by mistake, to be \u2018un-sent\u2019, or at least tracked down to the person who received it.<\/p>\n
The email in question was sent by a Goldman contractor, who was testing changes in the New York bank\u2019s internal process and intended to file her report, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
But instead of using a \u2018gs.com\u2019 account, she mistakenly typed \u2018gmail.com\u2019, sending the report with confidential client data to an unrelated user of Google\u2019s email service.<\/p>\n
The security breach occurred on June 23. Goldman failed to get a response from the Gmail account owner and wants Google to help track this person down.<\/p>\n
The internet giant\u00a0\u201cappears willing to cooperate”<\/em>\u00a0if there is a court order, the bank said in a complaint filed in a New York State court last Friday to obtain one.<\/p>\n “Emergency relief is necessary to avoid the risk of inflicting a needless and massive privacy violation upon Goldman Sachs’ clients, and to avoid the risk of unnecessary reputational damage to Goldman Sachs,”<\/em>\u00a0the bank said.<\/p>\n “By contrast, Google faces little more than the minor inconvenience of intercepting a single email – an email that was indisputably sent in error,”<\/em>\u00a0it added.<\/p>\n Goldman did not specify how many clients were affected by the disclosure of their private data.<\/p>\n This piece<\/a> was reprinted by RINF Alternative News<\/a> with permission or license.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019ve ever hit \u2018send\u2019 on an email only to regret it later, Goldman Sachs can sympathize with you.
