This made the accounts of around 620,000 fund members unavailable for over a week in May.
這導致約62萬名基金會員的帳戶在5月份有超過一週的時間無法讀取。

As a result, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian and UniSuper CEO Peter Chun made a shared statement on May 8 to explain the causes of the incident.
因此，谷歌雲端執行長庫里安和UniSuper執行長秦彼得在5月8日共同發表聲明，解釋了事件的起因。

According to the CEOs’ message, a “glitch in Google’s cloud service” accidentally deleted UniSuper’s account.
根據這兩位執行長們的聲明，這次是因為「谷歌雲端服務的一個小故障」意外刪除了UniSuper的帳戶。

The statement said that this was a “one-of-a-kind” incident that “should not have happened.”
聲明稱，這起事件是「個別案件」，「本不該發生」。

In fact, it noted that the technical issue which caused this problem was so unusual that even UniSuper’s backup cloud data was deleted.
事實上，聲明指出，造成這一問題的技術問題非常不尋常，甚至連UniSuper的備份雲端數據都被刪除了。

Despite UniSuper members worrying about the safety of their information, the statement said that no personal data was put in danger and that Google Cloud was able to begin making accounts available after more than a week of them being down.
儘管UniSuper的會員擔心個資安全，但聲明稱，沒有任何個人數據受到威脅，而且谷歌雲端在帳戶被刪除後一個多禮拜後恢復開放使用。

This was possible because UniSuper had luckily kept backups of its data with another cloud service.
之所以能做到這一點，這是因為UniSuper很幸運地在另一個雲端服務上保留了數據備份。
With the pensions of so many of UniSuper’s members being affected by this mistake, Google Cloud has said it will do everything possible to make sure that a similar problem never happens again.
由於UniSuper眾多成員的養老金受到此次錯誤的影響，谷歌雲端表示將盡一切可能確保類似問題不會再次發生。
