" Google Calendar Privacy Concerns Raised"

A misconfiguration in a Google Calendar function that allows Google to index calendars, raises serious privacy concerns. It was discovered that over 8,000 Google calendars were publicly accessible and searchable using the Google engine that could allow anyone to not only access sensitive details saved to them, but also add new events with maliciously crafted information or links.  Any calendar designated as "public" for sharing were indexed by Google and then were able to be viewed by anyone making a Google search query, without the calendar link being shared with them.
