Google has issued a critical alert concerning the security of 2.5 billion Gmail accounts, urging users to take immediate action. The advisory emphasizes the need to change passwords and enable two-step verification in response to a rise in cyberattacks. The cyber threats are often linked to groups like ShinyHunters, known for their phishing tactics that aim to steal user data. This group may be preparing to launch a brand data leak site to further intensify their extortion strategies. The recommendation to secure Gmail accounts is crucial, given that these accounts are often linked to other services, including banking, shopping, and social media.
