Not that I disagree with your assessment but in the spirit of hn pedantry - google had a very significant breach where gmail was a primary target and that was “only” 16 years ago in mid 2009. So bad that it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aurora


>very significant breach

That page says it was only 2 accounts and none of the messages within the mail was accessed. I wouldn't call that very significant.
