Ireland's data protection regulator will ask Google to provide more information about a security glitch that compromised the data of 500,000 users, a spokesman told CNBC Tuesday.

On Monday evening, the tech giant disclosed publicly that its social media platform, Google Plus, had experienced a "bug" that gave developers to a user's information, including their name, email, address, occupation, gender and age. However, it said it found "no evidence" that any developer was aware of that glitch or that any profile data had been misused.
