SRKW has filed suit on behalf of consumers whose wi-fi communications, including emails, passwords and pictures, were routinely intercepted and collected by Google. As part of Google’s Street View program to take pictures of buildings across the U.S. and the world, it used vehicles traveling residential streets to gather private data sent over wireless networks.
Although Google has admitted it was wrong to collect these private communications, it has not yet explained what it was doing with the data and how much data Google has accumulated. SRKW represents consumers who accuse Google of violating federal wiretap laws by intercepting a huge amount of wireless communications. The Federal Trade Commission and several foreign governments are also investigating Google’s conduct. For more information, please contact SRKW attorneys Jeff Kodroff or John Macoretta.
