Google warns: Your personal information may be exposed if you don't do this
A new hacking tool called 'Remus Stealer' allows hackers to break into Gmail inboxes and read messages even after a password change, for $1,000 per month. Google recommends updating your password and disconnecting unrecognized connections.
A new hacking tool called 'Remus Stealer', offered for sale on online forums for $1,000 per month, could allow hackers to break into Gmail email inboxes and expose personal and sensitive information, even after account holders have changed their password. This was reported by the New York Post based on findings from the cybersecurity company 'Hudson Rock'. The software operators offer cybercriminals access to a dedicated system through which they can search private emails and intercept verification codes, thereby jeopardizing additional accounts. The researchers clarified that they have not yet been able to independently verify whether the software can indeed continue to collect messages after the account has been fully secured. Google recommends that users update their password, disconnect unrecognized connections, and remove malware from their device. Security experts recommend checking email settings for forwarding rules, suspicious filters, and changes to account recovery details.
