Gmail security alert: Google has a ‘warning’ for 2.5 billion users and how can you safeguard your account

Google alerted 2.5 billion Gmail users to a critical security threat following breaches that compromised user accounts. Phishing scams tricked users into revealing login information and 2FA codes. Google recommends strong passwords, enabling 2FA, scrutinizing emails, and regularly reviewing account activity to mitigate hacking risks.
