Comment on A Joint Statement from UniSuper and Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurianparent

Comments

Imagine if a bank, hospital or government agency was taken out by something like this.

GCP does have customers in each of the above segments, I suppose we’re just lucky they weren’t affected.

It was the records of $100 billion dollars in retirement assets that was deleted by Google. Not a small deal, and far more than many small banks.

I am, unfortunately, a customer of the retirement firm, UniSuper.

UniSuper is a large financial organisation. It’s managing $100 billion plus in pension funds.

I think because it’s an Australian company the reported news hasn’t been picked up more as nobody knows who they are. The wording of the official press releases has also been carefully worded/managed to reduce what is really damaging news for the GCP sales department who are on a big push in Oceania for the large corporate companies dangling free credits.
