Gmail just announced a breach impacting 2.5 billion users—about a third of the world’s population, which is crazy. In this video, I break down what actually happened: Google’s database was accessed via Salesforce, and while passwords weren’t directly leaked, personal user info was. That’s the fuel scammers need to ramp up phishing, scam emails, and even telemarketer calls—because the goal is to trick you into giving up your Gmail password. My big takeaway is this: a strong password manager alone isn’t enough anymore. Your data can be leaked, sold through data brokers, and pieced together until you’re still at risk for identity theft. That’s why I keep pushing identity theft protection as essential in 2026, and why my team’s testing continues to rank Aura at the top. Aura keeps things simple—no annoying tier system—so every adult gets the same protection: three-bureau credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, VPN, malware protection, and password management. And if the worst happens, their $1M insurance (with an optional add-on up to $5M) is the kind of safety net I want in place before anything goes wrong.
