Around 150,000 Gmail users when logged in to their Gmail accounts were shocked to see their worst nightmare come true, all of their email correspondences and chat logs were erased and there accounts were reset to their original state as if they were newly created. All this havoc was caused due to a Bug that erased all the account info and made it vanish in the cloud.
Though the Google says that its estimate of the number of accounts affected were 150,000, or approximately 0.08% of all Gmail users so consider yourself as a very unlucky person or whatever but the truth remains that when it comes to really important messages and info cloud can’t be trusted always this also shows how important it is to always backup your important data and emails before some bug simply erases your years of correspondances.According to Google a bug in an updated version of their storage software was responsible for the data loss in their servers affecting their redundant data stores. They have since reverted to an older version of the software.
“Google Mail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change.”
Yes that’s the latest of the updates that the Google has to offer about this problem they say that they have already fixed and restored all that they could.
