It was announced over the weekend that an additional 48 million Gmail credentials were exposed. This wasn’t a new leak but an updated number from previous leaks. The new total is over 149 million accounts compromised.
So what does “exposed” mean? In this case it means that a list of usernames and passwords were stored without any password protection and is available for anyone who wants it.
What should you do?
Change your passwords!
AND . . .
Ensure you are not reusing any passwords
Switch to passkeys if possible
Enable secure two-factor authentication
If you are concerned about your account, let talk.
