Google to pay $22.5 million due to Apple's Safari Privacy breach

Earlier this year, it was found out that Google search has been flirting a bit with mobile Safari's privacy settings, and while this might seem as an innocent love affair to you, the Federal Trade Commission sees this as a kind of security breach that has to be punished! Earlier rumors indicated that the fine Google will probably have to pay may exceed $10 million, but now, thanks to CNN sources that are said to be familiar with the matter, we know that the fine will actually be "a bit" heftier: $22,5 million.

Google statement to CNN regarding the case:

"We cannot comment on any specifics. However we do set the highest standards of privacy and security for our users."
