“Google has warned most of its 2.5 billion Gmail users to update their passwords and strengthen their account security as password hackers have carried out a significant amount of ‘successful intrusions’. It is advising users to be on high alert for suspicious activity and add extra security measures, like two-factor authentication, if they have not already. Hackers often access Gmail passwords by sending emails with links to fake sign-in pages, or by tricking users into sharing their two-factor authentication codes. While most users have strong, unique passwords, only a third regularly update these keys, according to Google data. Separately, Google has also advised customers to ramp up their security measures after a breach of its own Salesforce database.” (08/27/25)
