A Google bug exposed the account information of 500,000 users, the company said Monday, spurring a slew of privacy changes and the shuttering of Google+ service for consumers.

The bug in Google's developer platform on its Google+ social network left information like a user's name, email address, occupation, gender and age vulnerable to a breach. The company said it found no evidence the data had been improperly accessed or misused.
