Google Issues Warning: Over 2 Billion Gmail Accounts at Risk of Hacking

Google has issued a serious cyber security warning for Gmail users.

According to Forbes, cybercriminals are attempting to hack Gmail accounts using Artificial Intelligence (AI). By posing as Google Support agents, hackers are sending users recovery codes and emails that appear highly authentic, making it easy for users to fall into their trap.

How to Secure Your Account

If you receive suspicious emails or calls, ignore them.
If you’ve mistakenly used a recovery code, change your Gmail password immediately. Follow these steps to change your password:

  1. Go to your Android device settings.
  2. Tap on Google and select your account.
  3. Click on “Manage Your Google Account.”
  4. Go to the Security tab.
  5. Under “How to sign in to your Google account,” click Password.
  6. Enter a new password and click “Change Password.”
  7. If you’ve forgotten your password, select “Forgot My Password” and follow the on-screen instructions.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

By activating 2FA, even if hackers get your password, they won’t be able to access your account.

” Taking precautions is essential to keep your Gmail account secure. By ignoring suspicious activities and implementing security measures, you can protect yourself from cyber threats. “
