Google plans to shutter its Google+ social network for 
consumers, citing its limited adoption with users. The tech 
giant announced the decision at the same time that it disclosed 
that the privacy of up to a half-million Google+ accounts could 
have been affected by a "bug."

The company says it discovered and patched the issue in March 
but decided not to disclose it immediately. It said it had no 
evidence that any third-party developer was aware of the bug or 
had misused profile data.
