[UPDATE] Google's Hangouts/GTalk messaging system is currently experiencing a glitch where messages are being incorrectly delivered to unintended recipients.
Several users have found that since around 4pm AEST this afternoon, messages sent over Google Hangouts and GTalk have been sent erroneously to the wrong recipients.
There appears to be no pattern to who is receiving the messages by mistake, or who the glitch affects.
ZDNet has confirmed first-hand that the glitch is present within Google Apps for Business accounts, including those that have not yet switched over to Google's new Hangouts platform. Messages appear to be visible on the mobile version of Hangouts. There is no indication that the messages are being received by a third party.
Google only recently issued an update to the mobile version of Hangouts, upgrading it to version 1.1.2.
When contacted for comment, a Google spokesperson told ZDNet: "We're investigating reports of an issue with Google Talk. We're sorry for the inconvenience. For further updates please refer to the Apps Status Dashboard."
