Speaking at a Fortune magazine tech conference in Aspen,
Colorado, Google senior vice president and Alphabet board member
Diane Greene mentioned the figure while touting Google's
security prowess.
The internet search leader, which develops the Android mobile
system and also offers email and a range of other applications
for consumers, has led the way in notifying users of government
spying. Others, including Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O>, have since
followed suit.
Google had previously said that it had been issuing tens of
thousands of warnings every few months and that customers often
upgraded their security in response.
