"Google engineers knew for TWO YEARS that the company's Street View cars were stealing emails and passwords via wi-fi"


-Google engineer who devised plan shared details with others - including a 'senior' manager
-Wi-fi cars could 'triangulate' people's positions - and 'see' what they were doing

-Company previously said data was a 'mistake'
