Gmail Security Alert: New Threat From 10-Second Account Hackers

Quick Summary:

The threat to email security that is posed by an army, and I use that phrase learnedly, of bots on X is not only real, it’s also predatory and very dangerous indeed as it strikes when the victim is at their most vulnerable.

The bad news being that many folk, when faced with an email security issue such as this, go straight into panic mode and that means shouting for help on social media.hich is where the trouble really starts.

When faced with an email security emergency, the first thing on the mind of many is to ask for help, and that’s where the 10-second account hackers find their prey.
