- Last week, a lot of Google users received a strange email that said that a new card had been added to their Google accounts.
- Since these users didn’t actually change the card, they felt that their accounts had been hacked.
- However, Google has acknowledged the issue and said the emails were an error caused by a bug, not a hack.
Last week, a worrying email reached many Google users that led them to believe that they might have been hacked.
The email notified users about a “new card” being added to their Google account. However, since the users hadn’t made any changes to their account firsthand, they felt they were hacked.
Some users also reported that the emails were sent to them repeatedly. On the other hand, however, some of the account holders didn’t receive any message at all.
A handful of users took to Reddit to share their experiences. They were so worried that they either changed their password or deleted their cards from the app entirely.
Google has addressed the issue and said that the notification was an error caused by a bug, not a hack.
“Be assured there was no unauthorized access to your account. We apologize for the inconvenience.” – Google
