Google reassured Gmail users about their security after online rumors spread about a massive breach. A Google blog post denied widespread warnings, stating they block over 99.9% of phishing and malware. These rumors seem to stem from confusion surrounding a Salesforce breach and reports of phishing attempts on Reddit. Google clarified that while they alerted affected users of the Salesforce breach, it wasn't a universal Gmail warning. They advise users to avoid suspicious links and calls requesting login information.
