Google Issues Urgent Warning for 2.5 Billion Gmail Users Amid Data Breach Incident

Google issued a global security alert for its 2.5 billion Gmail users, urging them to update their passwords following a data breach involving one of its Salesforce databases. Although passwords were not leaked, the breach exposed general data like customer and company names used to make phishing and vishing attempts more convincing. Google warns that phishing and "vishing" now make up 37% of all successful account takeovers across its platforms.
