With a staggering 2.5 billion Gmail users, Google has issued an urgent advisory, urging users to enhance their account security due to increased hacking activities. The tech giant recommends an immediate password reset and activation of two-step verification. The hacking group ShinyHunters is considered a key player in these cyberattacks, known for sophisticated phishing schemes that trick users into revealing sensitive data. Google highlights the necessity of these security steps to protect user accounts from potential breaches. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security, preventing unauthorized access even if a password is known. The advisory follows earlier warnings sent to potentially affected Gmail users.
