PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The state of Rhode Island is suing Google after learning that a privacy breach compromised the personal information of more than 52 million users, Eyewitness News has learned.

According to Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner, the lawsuit is filed on behalf of the Rhode Island pension fund.

Magaziner said the lawsuit accuses Google executives of misleading investors and regulators by hiding security vulnerabilities with its Google+ social media platform.

“Google had an obligation to tell its users and investors that private information wasn’t being protected,” Magaziner said in a statement. “Instead, Google executives decided to hide the breaches from its users and continued to mislead investors and federal regulators.”

Magaziner said hiding the privacy breaches is an “unconscionable violation of public trust by Google” and they plan to seek financial restitution on behalf of the pension fund and its investors.

Google announced Monday that the information of more than 52 million Google+ users may have been compromised in the privacy breach. The company said it has since fixed the bugs that led to the breach, but still plans to shut down Google+ next year.
