5 million Gmail passwords published

[Anonymous]

You might need to change your email password in the very near future. A member at a Russian Bitcoin forum has posted almost 5 million Gmail passwords, around 60 percent of which are reportedly still working. It's not clear how the poster managed to scoop up all this account info, but Google tells Cnews that it comes from a long stretch of hacking and phishing attempts that stole data from individual users. Gmail's servers weren't breached, the search giant says, and much of what's there is old. That's somewhat comforting, but you may want to check if your account is one of the unfortunate targets -- you don't want to give thieves easy access to your most sensitive info.

Gmail smartphone app vulnerable to hackers, researchers say

Researchers have found a weakness in Google’s popular Android operating system that let them hack into Gmail accounts with a 92% success rate.

The vulnerability extends to a number of other apps including H&R Block, Newegg, WebMD, Chase Bank, Hotels.com and Amazon, according to their study. In most cases, their technique succeeded 80-90% of the time. Amazon’s app was the most difficult to crack at 48%.

The hack begins when a user downloads malicious software disguised as a seemingly harmless app like background wallpaper app. Next, the masquerading app exploits a common feature of operating systems—shared memory —to figure out what users are doing on their smartphones.

When timed properly—say, just as a user is entering a username and password, or snapping a picture of a personal check—a hacker can launch a phishing attack. Users think they’re punching their passwords into an app like Gmail, Amazon or Chase, but they’re actually typing it into a sham-screen generated by the malicious app.
