The Austrian Federal Administrative Court held
a) that an (alleged) change of controllership from Google LLC to Google Ireland Limited does not have an ex-tunc effect - Google LLC qualifies as controller for alleged data protection violations that took place before the change of controllership
and
b) that Google is allowed to request a data subject exercising their right to access to log into their Google-account to authenticate the data subject and to provide access to their data using the Google account.
