Google Says Gmail Security Alert Claims Are False

Google denied claims Monday that it had issued a security warning to Gmail users about a major vulnerability. The company stated that recent reports claiming a broad Gmail security alert were "entirely false." Google said its email service blocks more than 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts from reaching users' inboxes.

Ah

[ouija147]

They mean the alerts going out, but not theirs

Slow, late, cannabis

Not theirs, really?

Which could it be, AI training or mistake?

GMail security is an Oxymoron

60% of infectious/phishing payloads are delivered courtesy of random gmail accounts.

If anyone breaks into my gmail

[FudRucker]

They won't find anything other than spam, delete it for me please

GOOGLE spam is the WORST

[gavron]

I've had my same email address for decades. It's on many many lists I never signed up for.
My google account is a paid for (nonfree) one. All filters are on.

The #1 spam ofeender is Google. Google allows its users to spam everyone.

Google will block emalls from others regardless of anti-spam features like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, but they allow other gmail users to spam everyone continously and with immnunity.

Fuck google.

My personal email, my domain, since 1996, outhits Gmail for spam. I get fascinating stuff, and sources from gmail.com are mostly invisible to me.

Lately there several domains that are pumping the spam to that account - onmicrosoft.com, for instance, is a newcomer.

Between fail2ban, strict DMARC and DNS testing, country and tld filters, and some other tools to slap the spammers silly, my processed volume is now below 10,000/month, and of those perhaps 1,000 go through the filter and get marked. About 120 or so

I have a Google account that's unpaid and forwarded to a non Google paid account. I don't have your experience with spam. You should migrate to another paid email provider with complaints like that... The other possibility is that you're using your email address to sign up for sites that have sold or shared your info with other spammers?

So that means what, at least one phish per week per mailbox?

A forged BIMI?

[Dark Coder]

So, someone forged their Google BIMI logo.

Wow. Just wow.

(BIMI: that signed Google
Logo that appears next to the email listed in your web-based (or Google app) Mail In-Box.

99.9%

99.9% -- yeah my gmail account determines that is bulls***.
