Warning!
Upgrade your Gmail account immediately or else...
If you use
Google's Gmail service, now is the time to upgrade your Gmail account
immediately.
Google has
issued an alert for its users as phishing attacks targeting Gmail accounts are
increasing rapidly.
Artificial
intelligence (AI) has changed the style of phishing attacks, which are
extremely difficult to identify immediately. Experts say that users need to
take immediate steps to protect their accounts.
According to
cybersecurity company Check Point, Google is currently the largest technology
company affected by phishing attacks, while Microsoft is in second place.
These
attacks collect login details from Gmail users, and these attacks are becoming
more sophisticated in 2025 due to AI.
Google has
made it clear to users that it will never call or email them to reset their
passwords or fix security issues, and if someone claims to do so and asks for
login information, it would be a scam.
One way to
protect your Gmail account is to upgrade your passkeys. Unlike passwords,
passkeys offer stronger protection and allow you to sign in using your
fingerprint, face scan, or device lock.
Google still
allows you to keep your passwords as a backup, but you should update your
password, enable two-factor authentication via a trusted device or app.
As AI
threats continue to grow, security experts and even the FBI have begun to warn
that traditional security methods cannot mitigate these risks.
