Google has rolled out new security features for Gmail, including mobile number-based account recovery and trusted contacts, to combat increasing hacker attacks. These updates aim to simplify access restoration while addressing vulnerabilities like stolen credentials and two-factor authentication bypasses.
Google has issued a critical update to help Gmail users secure their accounts against a surge in hacking attempts, according to reports.
