#hacked account

One of the ugliest thing that could happen to a blog or a website is getting hacked. Well, Google will now be allowing users to sign into their accounts via a selfie video. The DICT recently issued a strong warning to never open online banking apps or digital wallets while connected to public hotspots, as these networks lack basic security and can be hacked. To help people stay safe, the DICT shared a few simple rules: always double-check with a staff member that you are connecting to the actual, official Wi-Fi network; turn off the "auto-connect" setting on your smartphone so it doesn't log into random networks on its own; and always remember to log completely out of your accounts when you are done. 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.
