A massive data breach has compromised the security of 183 million Gmail accounts. The leaked data includes not only email addresses, but also the associated passwords. This information could give hackers access to not only the email accounts but also other services linked to Gmail.
The incident was first discovered in April this year, but was only recently made public by the website Have I Been Pwned. This platform, run by Troy Hunt, tracks data leaks and informs users if their data has been affected. The leaked information comes from a major hack that aggregated data from various sources on the Internet.
Users can check whether their email addresses and passwords are part of this or other known data breaches by using the website Have I Been Pwned. In total, the site has tracked 917 hacked websites and over 15 billion accounts. If an account has been compromised, it is strongly recommended that you change your Gmail password and enable two-factor authentication.
Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security that works even if a hacker has stolen a user’s password. Google uses a variety of security measures to ensure accounts remain protected even if a password is stolen. These measures are crucial to ensure the integrity and security of user accounts.
