drewrem11··on Librarian's Letter to Google Security
Librarian has updated the document to say this issue was resolved and overblown:

STOP EMAILING ME AND CALLING THE LIBRARY ABOUT THIS

This was shared without my permission. This was not supposed to be public. It was meant to be shared internally to Google. It was not an open letter. It went directly to the security team and we had a conversation about it and it’s over. This is from well over a year ago and we no longer are having this issue as often as before due to various improvements.

Please delete this from HN. You are essentially DDOS’ing my work email and the library branch phone number making it very difficult for us to perform our duties as civil servants today.

I do not know how this made it onto HN. Someone must have leaked it. If they need to work that out internally then I’m leaving this here for their reference. But I do not want news reporters or random HN readers contacting me or the Free Library over this.
