Fragomen, a law firm that provides Google with I-9 employment verification compliance services, says the personal information of some people was compromised in a recent data breach.
In a notice of data breach filed with California's Office of the Attorney General, Fragomen is informing affected Google employees of a data breach that it discovered on September 24, and which has resulted in personal information being compromised.
"While our investigation is ongoing, we discovered that an unauthorized third party gained access to a single file containing personal information relating to I-9 employment verification services. This file contained personal information for a discrete number of Googlers, including you," the notice reads.
The law firm also said that the compromised file contained various amounts of personal information on the affected employees.
The names of all affected individuals were included in the file, but the company has yet to provide details on what other types of information was compromised.
