Google says reports of a major Gmail security issue are 'entirely false'

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-22 18:48:12

Google is officially debunking a series of reports that claimed Gmail has been hit with a "major" security issue in recent days. "We want to reassure our users that Gmail’s protections are strong and effective," the company said in a somewhat unusual statement. "Several inaccurate claims surfaced recently that incorrectly stated that we issued a broad warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security issue. This is entirely false." Google doesn't detail the erroneous claims in its post. B

Google debunks claims of major Gmail security alert

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google says reports of a mass Gmail security warning are false. Some outlets reporting on phishing data last week framed it as a mass Gmail security alert. The company insists Gmail protections remain strong, but advises using passkeys and learning to spot phishing emails. Online threats are scary enough without false or overhyped alarms adding to the confusion. Last week, several outlets claimed that Gmail had issued a major warning to all 2.5 billi

Scammers Will Try to Trick You Into Filling Out Google Forms. Don’t Fall for It

One of the lesser-known apps in the Google Drive online suite is Google Forms. It's an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google Forms can also be used for malicious purposes.

FTC claims Gmail filtering Republican emails threatens “American freedoms”

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson accused Google of using "partisan" spam filtering in Gmail that sends Republican fundraising emails to the spam folder while delivering Democratic emails to inboxes. Ferguson sent a letter yesterday to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, accusing the company of "potential FTC Act violations related to partisan administration of Gmail."

It’s a well-worn trope in science fiction. We see it in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the premise of the Terminator series, in which Skynet triggers a nuclear holocaust to stop scientists from shutting it down. Those sci-fi roots go deep.

Why email security needs its EDR moment to move beyond prevention

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-12 15:01:11

Security leaders today are rethinking email security, not because traditional methods have failed outright, but because the threat landscape and business needs have evolved beyond what legacy approaches can handle. A surprising but apt analogy keeps surfacing: email security is stuck where antivirus (AV) was a decade ago, and it’s time it evolved like AV did, into an element of EDR. The comparison might not be obvious at first. After all, email and endpoints seem like apples and oranges. But
