Stolen logins and passwords of Gmail accounts – Hack

There is no question of breaking into any of the Google services. Information has been gained by the typical cyber activities, or phishing, malware or simply found in the network (or rather gathered from other similar lists). A total of nearly 5 million. Internet users, unfortunately, confirmed the authenticity of the login names and addresses.

What can you do?

By default, you should change the password and use two-factor authentication. Google and any other service provider, insist to use “strong” password. So what? Long combination of numbers and letters (of various sizes). Most of the passwords that leaked include “11524″ or “111111″. Thus, little ambitious.

Do I need to worry?

According to Google, only 2 per cent. published information is true. Google had contact with people, but do not know how it was done, if someone’s account, in theory, could have been “hijacked” (change password). The creators of Gmail again assured that there was no breach of security.
