Google $7 Million Settlement for Stealing WiFi Passwords

Google has agreed to pay a mere $7 million to 30 U.S. states over a 2010 incident in which its Street View mapping cars collected millions of passwords and other personal data from home wireless networks. The announcement of the settlement is expected to be made by the states early next week, according to the person, though some of the final details of the deal were still being hammered out on Friday. Google has said the incident was a mistake, even though they engaged in this activity in several countries and for a duration of 3 years.
