It goes without saying that in today’s connected age that privacy has become increasingly important. This is because a quick search on Google can pull up information on yourself that you did not think was out there. Let’s not forget that today’s apps and services also tend to rely a lot on your personal information, like your location, search habits, browsing history, and so on.
For some of us, we make peace with the fact that this is the cost of doing business, so to speak, but for others like 30 year old Raul Murillo Diaz, he has taken things to the extreme. According to a report from Mercury News, it seems that the police have arrested Diaz after he had launched an attack on Google’s headquarters.
The report claims that Diaz had apparently shot out Google’s office widows and tossed Molotov cocktails at a streetview car. Apparently Diaz claimed that Google had been tracking him and were watching him. He even kept journals that supposedly detailed the times he was sure that he was being watched.
According to reports, it turns out that Diaz might have also been behind other attacks on Google’s HQ. There were security camera recordings of a man in a hoodie with a squirt gun that police believed contained flammable liquid. Thankfully it seems that in the reports, there was no mention of anyone getting hurt in the process.
