Google and Gmail Users Warned of 183 Million Password Data Breach

Google has denied reports of a massive Gmail data breach, clarifying that the compromised accounts were part of a collection of credentials stolen over years through malware, phishing, and other attacks, not a new breach. The false claims originated from misinterpretations of stolen credential databases, causing unnecessary alarm. Google emphasizes the importance of changing passwords if credentials are exposed, but reassures users that their Gmail security remains strong.
