AI Hacking Gmail Accounts
Google has issued a serious warning to Gmail users, alerting them that 2.5 billion accounts are at risk of cyber fraud due to AI-powered hacking techniques. Cybercriminals are impersonating Google support agents to deceive users and steal their sensitive information.
How Are Hackers Targeting Gmail Users?
According to a Forbes report, hackers are posing as Google support representatives and reaching out to users via calls and emails. They claim that the user’s Gmail account has been compromised and trick them into resetting their account using a recovery code. These emails and codes often look legitimate, making it easy for users to fall into the trap.
What Should You Do If You Receive a Suspicious Call or Email?
- Ignore any unsolicited calls or emails claiming to be from Google support.
- If you have shared a recovery code by mistake, immediately change your Gmail password to secure your account.

To enhance the security of your Gmail account, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings on your Android device.
- Tap on Google and select your account.
- Click on “Manage your Google Account.”
- Go to the “Security” tab.
- Under “How to sign in to your Google Account,” select “Password.”
- Enter a new strong password and tap “Change Password.”
- If you have forgotten your password, click on “Forgot my password” and follow the on-screen instructions.
How to Protect Yourself from AI-Powered Hacking?
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security.
