Google has warned users about a massive data breach that threatens 183 million Gmail accounts. Attackers are using malware that steals passwords directly from users' devices - computers, tablets and smartphones. This can allow attackers to access not only email, but also linked social media accounts, online services, banking data and personal files.
Google emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and urges users to take immediate action. The company recommends:
-
Change your Gmail password to a new, complex, and unique one.
-
Enable two-step authentication (2FA) via SMS, a special app, or a security key.
-
Check your account security settings to make sure there have been no suspicious logins.
Following these steps will help minimize the risks of unauthorized access to personal data and financial information.
