Did Your Gmail Get Hacked? Google Has a Clear Answer

News Desk

Islamabad: Google has confirmed there is no new, widespread security breach affecting Gmail. The company released a rare public statement to debunk recent false reports that it had issued a mass warning to its 2.5 billion users.

The confusion appears to stem from old media reports about a specific phishing attack that was resolved in August. Google stressed that while this incident is over, phishing is an ongoing risk, and the company’s security measures block over 99.9% of these attempts.

To stay safe, Google encourages users to adopt stronger security habits like using passkeys or other password alternatives.
