“Phishing Biggest Threat to Google Account Security”

Phishing remains one of the most prominent and successful attacks, targeting users in a variety of ways designed to gain access to their online credentials such as login information, credit card data and more. Researchers at both University of California Berkley and Google have written a research paper comparing the amount of account information on the black market with the tools available to gain account information in a time period from March 2016 to March 2017. The end result provided shows that phishing still presents a greater risk above keyloggers and data breaches. This article further discusses the data analysis given by Google and UC Berkley, and the overall risk it presents to users.
