Update, April 21, 2025: This story, originally published April 19, has been updated with new information regarding the sale of phishing kits and further details of structural email sender authentication protections, which were seemingly bypassed in this latest Gmail attack campaign.

Protecting your accounts and data is getting harder and more complex, despite the best efforts of security defenders. In the same week that we have seen details of Microsoft introducing strict new email authentication rules on May 5 to protect 500 million Outlook users, and the FBI warning that hackers impersonating the FBI have struck, so both these stories merge as Google confirms that Gmail users are under attack from hackers bypassing its own email authentication protections and leveraging trust in Google infrastructure to launch a dangerous and costly threat.

There are plenty of dishonest and evil people out there in cyberland that will try to take advantage of you.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
