A contractor mistakenly sent “highly confidential brokerage account information” about Goldman Sachs Group Inc. clients to a stranger’s email account, and the famed investment banking firm has asked a New York state court to help get it back.
In a court complaint filed Friday in Manhattan, Goldman Sachs said Google Inc. appears willing to cooperate in deleting the email, but requires a court order to do so, Reuters reports. It is unclear how many customers are affected and it appears that even Goldman Sachs may not know who holds the Gmail account to which the email was sent.
