Google faces police questioning over 500,000 fake Gmail accounts used for bomb threats
Indian police will question Google regarding safeguards after dismantling a fake Gmail account network. This network sent over 500,000 hoax bomb threats to government offices across India. Authorities arrested two individuals involved in operating this extensive criminal operation since 2022. The investigation began after a bomb threat email targeted the Gujarat government before a summit. Police are examining how the criminals bypassed security measures, including two-factor authentication.
