Gmail users at risk of phishing attacks: What to do
Google has issued a warning that affects its 2.5 billion Gmail users about ongoing phishing attacks linked to the hacking group ShinyHunters.
These scammers send emails that look real but actually trick you into clicking shady links or attachments, putting your accounts at risk.
Google's advice? Change your password ASAP and turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) to keep your info safe.
