Don't wait - Google says you have a week to respond to Gmail password attacks.
It can’t have escaped your attention that May 1 is World Password Day , where security experts and public relations organizations compete to see who can create the most ridiculousto feed to the media and public alike. Yes, I’m cynical about the whole charade, as we should be taking password security seriously all year and not just on a designated day, preferably getting rid of them altogether and shifting to the more secure passkey option.
Unfortunately, these kinds of password-hacking compromises against Gmail users have become increasingly popular as threat actors of all types employwhen it comes to offering both protection against these increasingly sophisticated attackers and help in recovering accounts if a user has fallen victim.
Everyone uses a seatbelt when driving or being driven because it has been proven to dramatically improve safety and reduce the chances of fatality if involved in an accident when compared to not wearing one. Now replace seatbelt with recovery options, car with Gmail account, and accident with incident to arrive at a similar conclusion: having a recovery telephone number in place improves your chances of getting your account back if a hacker attacks.
