FBI issues warning to all Gmail users over attack hijacking accounts

The FBI is warning the more than 1.8 billion people who use Google's Gmail about a dangerous ransomware scheme that could hold your private data hostage. To prevent this ransomware from targeting you, the FBI and CISA are urging anyone using email services like Gmail to immediately start using two-factor authentication - an added layer of protection which texts you a security code before logging into your mail. The FBI has warned that over 300 victims in critical infrastructure sectors have already been attacked by the ransomware scheme Federal agents added that if you have sensitive information on your devices, it's important to keep multiple copies on separate servers or hard drives. To keep places like hospitals and schools safe, authorities recommended that institutions split their computer networks into smaller sections - so if Medusa breaks in, it can't easily spread everywhere.
