""We want to reassure our users that Gmail's protections are strong and effective," the company said. "Several inaccurate claims surfaced recently that incorrectly stated that we issued a broad warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security issue. This is entirely false." "While it's always the case that phishers are looking for ways to infiltrate inboxes, our protections continue to block more than 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts from reaching users.""
"Over the last few days, reports have appeared in a number of publications, claiming that the company had issued a new security alert to its 2.5 billion Gmail users. Several reports said that users should update their passwords following a breach of Google's Salesforce systems, which had allowed hackers to access a database containing Google Cloud and Gmail users' data. In a on September 1st, the tech giant has since refuted those claims, insisting that previous issues pose no risk to users."
Numerous reports claimed Google issued a broad security alert to all 2.5 billion Gmail users and advised password changes after an alleged breach of Google's Salesforce systems exposing Google Cloud and Gmail user data. Google denied a widespread Gmail breach and said recent claims were inaccurate, noting that Gmail protections block over 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts. The incident stemmed from vulnerable Salesloft Drift instances targeted by UNC6395, where compromised OAuth tokens for the Drift Email integration were used to access email from a very small number of Google Workspace accounts. Google identified impacted users, revoked the specific OAuth tokens, and disabled the integration functionality to protect customers.
