New Delhi, Aug. 29 -- Google has issued a strong warning to Gmail users after a well-known hacking group, ShinyHunters, managed to steal sensitive information through a data breach. According to Google's Threat Intelligence Report, the hackers gained access to data through a corporate Salesforce system, leaving billions of Gmail accounts potentially vulnerable.

The company said around 2.5 billion Gmail users have been urged to reset their passwords and strengthen their account security, Tech Radar reported. While the exposed information included mostly names and business contact details, Google warned that this still increases the chances of phishing scams and extortion attempts.
