Google is also ending support for spam protection, inbox categories, and other features for third-party (non-Gmail) email accounts. IMAP is still supported. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/16604719?hl=en #Google #Gmail #Gmailify #email

So, in a group I'm in, someone shared a campaign call calling on #Google to stop supporting the #Israel government and end its complicity in war crimes in #Gaza

The platform they're using to share these messages? #GoogleGroups of course. The email account the initial person sent the notice from? #Gmail of course.

Should I call them out and say - shouldn't we stop using a genocide-supporting #platforms?

Would you use a self-hosted tool that ingests the mbox (gmail) file from google takeout, indexes all emails and let you search through it? The idea is that it would be an email archive. I feel like it would be useful for people who want to de-google. Being able to search through your emails without having to import them to your new provider is something that I would appreciate. I don't like clutter, and I barely have to pull old emails. Let me know your thoughts! #gmail #selfhost #homelab

I am using Google Classroom, and Gmail is marking all email notifications from my Google classroom as spam. It's email generated by one Google product going into another Google product. What on earth is happening to flag the notification as spam?

#Google #GoogleClassroom #Gmail #spam #MonopolistsDontInnovate

This post is not an invitation to scold me for using Google products or to suggest alternatives. It is also not a request for technical support.

🚨 BREAKING: Google just got fined €325M for breaking privacy laws.

Let's celebrate this BIG WIN for #privacy 🔒

Well? Should they? Let’s ask Ian Betteridge.

Four weeks ago, #Google admitted it was hacked by #ShinyHunters and/or #ScatteredSpider—via #vishing. Sadly, this sparked a journalistic game of Telephone: Over the space of four weeks, “This #Salesforce instance got vished,” quickly became, “2.5 billion #Gmail users hacked!!1!”

Sigh. “This is entirely false,” complains Google. In #SBBlogwatch, we bait for clicks during dog days.

The vast majority of fake billing emails (trying to get you to call their "support center" where they will endeavor to scam you) appear to come from #Gmail. These typically carry various signals that #Google could use to block them from being sent to non-Gmail addresses, but they don't bother.

🤖 Gemini’s Gmail summaries were just caught parroting phishing scams. A security researcher embedded hidden prompts in email text (w/ white font, zero size) to make Gemini falsely claim the user's Gmail password was compromised and suggest calling a fake Google number. It's patched now, but the bigger issue remains: AI tools that interpret or summarize content can be manipulated just like humans. Attackers know this and will keep probing for prompt injection weaknesses.

TL;DR
⚠️ Invisible prompts misled Gemini
📩 AI summaries spoofed Gmail alerts
🔍 Prompt injection worked cleanly
🔐 Google patched, but risk remains
