Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) resulting from allegations that Alphabet may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

On October 8, 2018, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Google Exposed User Data, Feared Repercussions of Disclosing to Public,” stating that “Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage[.]” The article further states that Google subsequently “announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+.” On this news, shares of Alphabet stock fell sharply during intraday trading on October 8, 2018.
