Google reveals 2,500 internal records have been leaked, Algorithm Secrets disclosed

Search engine giants Google has revealed that no fewer than 2,500 internal records have been leaked, with the company’s search engine ranking algorithm also circulating the web.

On March 13, an automated bot known as yoshi-code-bot is said to have published thousands of articles on Github that seemed to have originated from Google’s internal Content API Warehouse.

The possibility that the leaked documents contain the search data that Google uses to rank pages and websites has caused a stir in the publishing and SEO sectors.
