- Google has recently released the results of a 3 year study on hackers of gmail accounts.
- The study revealed that you are much more likely to have your account hacked if someone in your contacts has had their account hacked.
- Only an average of nine in one million google accounts get hacked every day.
- Deceptive scams work 45% of the time; these scams are clever and manage to trick the reader into giving their login credentials.
- Hackers can scan your email in 3 minutes for valuable information.
- If you get hacked, try to quickly warn your contacts, because they may be targeted by the same hacker. However, hackers may manipulate your account so that all emails to your contacts never reach them, so warning your contacts over email is not an effective way.
