#account hack

While there are no confirmation about this leak, sources say that these usernames and passwords could be a sum of other accounts from different websites with users of identical Gmail passwords, plus accounts from older times. The website of the Senate of the Philippines was reportedly targeted by a cyberattack on June 10, with local hacktivist group Nullsec Philippines claiming responsibility for the incident. According to the group, it somehow gained unauthorized access to the website and then changed its content, such as by posting a message calling for more transparency, accountability, and action against government corruption. Google is testing a new storage policy that gives some newly created accounts only 5GB of free cloud storage unless users verify their account with a phone number. Previously, Google accounts automatically received 15GB of free storage shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. Users setting up new accounts recently reported seeing a notice stating that linking a phone number would unlock the full 15GB allocation. Without verification, accounts would remain limited to 5GB. According to Google, the change is intended to improve account security and recovery while helping prevent abuse of free cloud storage.
