Google revealed a bug on Tuesday that left enterprise G Suite passwords stored incorrectly for the last 14 years so that they were encrypted but unhashed. It’s a bug that could have allowed Google employees to access credentials — but Google was quick to point out no such access was detected.

The mistake only impacts business G Suite users, free users of Google products are unaffected.
“We have been conducting a thorough investigation and have seen no evidence of improper access to or misuse of the affected G Suite credentials,” said Suzanne Frey, Google Cloud’s Vice President of engineering.
