Why Google has warned Gmail users to change password immediately; is your data in danger

By -


Tech News: Software company Google has issued a major safety alert for 2.5 billion Gmail users around the world. This warning has come after the recent Salesforce database hacking and several phishing attacks. Millions of accounts are at risk, so it is advisable to immediately change the password and enable two factor authentication.

One of the biggest alerts

Cyber ​​security experts believe that this is one of the biggest alerts issued in recent years. Hackers used two major methods to target users, hackers sent fake emails that looked real and contained links that took users to fake login pages. Many users accidentally entered their Gmail credentials and 2FA codes, giving hackers complete control over the account.

Group has previously hacked big groups

Google has confirmed that the Salesforce database has been breached. A group called Shiny Hunters is said to be behind this attack, which has previously hacked big groups like AT&T and Microsoft. Experts believe that this group can leak the stolen data or use it for blackmail.

Google advises users to take some important steps

Google has advised Gmail users to take some important steps immediately. First of all, update your password, create a strong and unique password that is not used on any other platform. 

Apart from this, enable two-factor authentication so that the account will remain safe even after the password is leaked. Avoid clicking on unknown emails or suspicious links. Also check account activity. You can check logins from unknown devices or locations in Gmail login history.

1) What do you think about Pushpa Impossible as a show and the character that you are playing? What was your reaction when you were approached? Pushpa Impossible is a show that encourages people from all genders to live optimistically, surviving against obstacles in front of them. This show demonstrates impressive courage and determination through Pushpa, who struggles throughout to support her children after her husband is absconding.

For a long time, I was engaged in negative roles, and I wished to do something positive like the current role of Dipti.  The character of Dipti is bright, mature and has clarity about life. I am happy about doing this character since her maturity really teaches me a lot about handling situations. Undoubtedly, I am growing as an actor in this role and more as...
