Laboratory Article:
===================
The google plus platform will be shut down in april 2019 latest by security and privacy related reason. First of all, 
the google platform should be stopped in june due to a data protection violation. After finding further security holes 
in the api, google did not want to take responsibility for future plans in 2019. As a reaction to the further weaknesses 
discovered, the platform will now be closed in april.

We excluded the google plus network by that above mentioned reasons. Our team will erase all accessable community data 
to ensure within the next weeks. The social media platform in the vulnerability lab on top will be replaced with our 
official linkedin social media page. (https://de.linkedin.com/in/vulnerabilitylab)
