Google says that in 2021, it has sent more than 50,000 warnings of state-sponsored phishing and other attacks targeting its customers. A security engineer from Google’s Threat Analysis group (TAG) notes that “receiv[ing] a warning it does not mean your account has been compromised, it means you have been identified as a target.” Google urges users to enable two-factor authentication, and says that it plans to provide hardware security keys to 10,000 high-risk users.
