Google Hacked: Close To 5
Million User Names And
Passwords Leaked On
Internet  read 100 time(s)AIT Google logo After Apple’s high profile iCloud
fiasco, Google is the latest
cybercrime victim with Russian
hackers posting usernames and
passwords of close to five million
Google accounts online. The list was posted on bitcoin forum
btcsec.com by a user called
Tvskit. The user claimed that
about 60 per cent of the
passwords are still active. The
same Google account password is used across all Google products
like Gmail, YouTube, Hangouts,
Drive and Maps. Google replied saying "We found
that less than 2% of the
username and password
combinations might have worked,
and our automated anti-hijacking
systems would have blocked many of those login attempts," It
also said "We've protected the
affected accounts and have
required those users to reset
their passwords." However, Google has locked out
anyone whose email account was
included in the leak. The company
is directing them to the account
recovery page to reset their
password and regain access to their account. It's also advising them to take
steps to further protect their
Gmail accounts, such as creating
a stronger password and using
an extra security feature called
two-step authentication.
