MODERATORS
I was of a firm belief that Google and Apple will never be breached. They might be bad at privacy but they are good at security. First time for everything.
Google has 182k employees as of 2023 (at least according to Wikipedia). There's no way to have that many people and not have one slip up once in a while.
Important stuff is usually handled by few of them.
Few thousand*
