You might not be totally safe from hackers even after you reset your Google password.
There was allegedly an exploit in Google cookies that allowed bad actors to access Google services even after users reset their passwords, according to a 2023 analysis from security firm CloudSEK uncovered by the developer PRISMA. The malware uses third-party cookies to gain unauthorized access to users’ data that, according to the firm, lets the hackers retain “continuous access” to Google accounts even after the password is reset. According to The Independent, it’s already being testing by hacking groups.
