Recently, there have been claims stating that Google has issued a warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security flaw. However, today Google has denied all the claims, stating that all the claims are inaccurate and Gmail’s protections are strong and effective.
In a statement, Google said: “Several inaccurate claims surfaced recently that incorrectly stated that we issued a broad warning to all Gmail users about a major Gmail security issue. This is entirely false.”
According to Google, Gmail blocks more than 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts before they ever reach a user’s inbox. While phishing campaigns remain an ongoing threat, the company stressed that its protections are strong and constantly updated. The company also stated that Security is the top priority of the company, and it continues to invest heavily in advanced protection.
While protections are in place, Google encourages users to follow basic safety steps to reduce risks:
- Pay attention to Google’s built-in security warnings
- Avoid sharing personal information through email requests
- Never enter passwords after clicking on email links
- Be cautious of urgent or “too good to be true” messages
- Pause and think before clicking suspicious links
Apart from that, the company also recommended users to adopt Passkeys, which are said to be a more secure alternative to passwords, for additional protection.
Furthermore, the tech giant is also incorporating new AI-powered tools to strengthen cybersecurity. Recently, during the Security Summit 2025, Google Cloud launched new security updates focusing on protecting AI applications, improving cyber defenses, and adding automation to threat response systems.
