Uh oh. For a long time I've been giving myself the excuse that the only reason why I keep using Gmail is security - Google has never had these kind of breaches.

The argument is no longer valid, time to move off Gmail.





There was no breach, which is clear from the first sentence of the article.

If I understood the follow up blogpost right, it states that there is a lot of email adresses where the only hit is the email domain so they are filtering away that as false positives. Not all stolen credentials are properly aligned and encoded with ; on the correct place I guess :-)

There might be a lot less gmail adresses showing up as pwned now.
