  Gemini in Gmail is terrible. I purchased Gemini so that it could help me manage my personal email holistically. It cannot do that. I can do way more with Grok using Gmail connectors than Gemini inside Gmail. Gemini in gmail by its own admission is effectively just a search tool and a very basic assistant. Not worth the money. Would not recommend. Use Grok instead to manage your Gmail.

  We're running; 25 cold emails sent and approx the same number of warm-up emails. Our warm up system involves emailing real people real questions that yield a 50%+ reply rate. No fake warm up pools where you email other spammers with damaged domain reputations. This is why you fail, your warm up system literally burns your domains at a rapid pace and you all comply. We email real people with Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft, whatever addresses spread over the entire world, self-hosted, non-self hosted, shared hosts, you name it. Yet you are all emailing people who all use identical setups at Instantly, and you think Google and others won't notice??? All at a rate of 30/day and you think using a different hook in the actual message is gonna make a difference? And I thought I was stubborn. Google took PBNs down with much less information and you think it can't connect a few dots when it comes to inboxes. Oh my god!

  Warning: Google’s Broken Support System & Irresponsibly Designed Family Link Parental Feature is Enabling a New Wave of Ransomware Attacks tl;dr - Google created a feature capable of transferring near-total control of an account, failed to place meaningful guardrails, verification, or intelligent abuse detection around it, and provides virtually no effective recovery support once it is weaponized. That combination has created a prolific new form of consumer account ransomware: attackers steal an authenticated session, convert the victim’s account into a supervised child account, install themselves as the controlling parent, and then extort the victim using the threat of permanent account loss and mass identity theft. This just happened to a family member. He used the same Gmail account for nearly his entire adult life, and it became the central identity behind almost everything he did online. His email history, Google Photos, Drive files, gaming accounts, password resets, subscriptions, and years of personal information were all connected to it. He is not temporarily “locked out.” Unless Google intervenes, the account is permanently lost and now controlled by someone else. The initial compromise appears to have started with common information stealing malware, A/K/A "Stealers". Stealers extract browser data such as cookies, saved credentials, and active session tokens. A stolen session is especially dangerous because the attacker may not need to know the password or defeat two-factor authentication. They are operating through a browser session that Google already considers authenticated. The attacker then abuses Google’s own account management features. They change the victim’s date of birth, so the adult account appears to belong to a child, trigger the Family Link supervision process, and add an attacker-controlled Google account as the parent. From there, they can reset the password, terminate the victim’s sessions, and establish themselves as the trusted authority over the account. That abuse is serious on its own, but Google’s support and recovery failures are what make this vector exceptionally dangerous. In a functioning recovery system, the legitimate owner would be able to report the compromise, verify years of account ownership, reverse the fraudulent supervision change, and remove the attacker. Instead, victims are pushed into automated recovery flows that often defer to the attacker-controlled “parent” account. There is frequently no meaningful escalation path, no competent human review, and no practical way to challenge the fraudulent change. In other words, this is not merely an account takeover technique. It is a permanent account-destruction technique made possible by Google’s inability or unwillingness to support its own users. The attacker exploits the feature, but Google’s recovery model completes the attack. Without that failure, this would be a recoverable security incident rather than the permanent loss of someone’s digital identity. Google's lack of underlying controls is also difficult to defend. An account that has used the same adult birthdate for ten years should not suddenly be converted into a supervised child account without extensive verification. A new Family Link parent should not be able to immediately reset credentials and displace the established owner. Changes with this level of impact should require step-up authentication, confirmation through long-standing recovery channels, delayed activation, prominent alerts, and a rollback mechanism that the newly added parent cannot override. The consequences extend far beyond Gmail. Once the attacker controls the primary email address, they can reset passwords for other services, impersonate the victim, access private files and photos, target contacts, distribute malware, and recover accounts across the victim’s digital life. Any passwords, payment data, or notes stolen during the original infostealer infection may create additional losses. AI is making the surrounding ecosystem worse by lowering the cost of creating convincing fake applications, download pages, advertisements, support sites, and social-engineering material. Less capable criminals can now launch higher-volume campaigns against ordinary users rather than focusing only on large corporate targets. Smaller ransom demands and individual account theft can still be highly profitable when repeated at scale. The most disturbing part is that this could happen to almost anyone. Google has spent years encouraging people to use one account as their email provider, cloud archive, photo library, identity provider, and recovery mechanism for the rest of their online lives. When a company creates that level of dependence, it also assumes a responsibility to provide competent recovery when its own features are abused. Right now, Google is failing that responsibility. Until it adds stronger controls and a real human escalation process, Family Link remains an extraordinarily high-impact account-takeover vector capable of permanently separating people from their entire digital lives. Please fix this @Google @TeamYouTube

  4. Third-Party App Leeches (The OAuth Backdoor) The Situation: For over a decade, you’ve been clicking that convenient "Sign in with Google" button to access random PDF editors, personality quizzes, mobile games, and budget trackers. You traded access to your Google account to save 30 seconds of typing a new password. The Mechanics: Many of those apps requested OAuth permissions to "Read, Compose, Send, and Permanently Delete all your email from Gmail." You clicked "Allow" without reading. Even if you deleted the app from your phone five years ago, the developer's server still maintains a permanent, open backdoor into your inbox. Shady developers frequently sell these dormant apps to malicious actors who use those permissions to quietly scrape your inbox for receipts, bank names, and contacts. The Fix: Go to your Google Account > Security > Third-party apps with account access. Click on "Manage third-party access." You will be horrified by the graveyard of forgotten apps. Revoke access to absolutely everything that isn't a highly trusted, daily-use application. Slam the backdoor shut.

  Let's just say that I haven't quite mastered my anger and let's just say I didn't have my stress ball and my phone was in my hand at the time. Let's just say I had to get a new phone for some reason. Let's just say it was slow. (lol) I forgot my password for my Gmail account.

  A guy sat at his laptop ready to permanently delete his 15-year-old Gmail account. He was getting 400 spam emails a day. Fake Best Buy receipts. Phishing links from "Netflix." Cryptic extortion threats. He hovered his mouse over "Delete Account" and sighed: "I just want peace." His coworker, a former email deliverability engineer, looked over his shoulder. "Before you nuke 15 years of contacts and data, let me show you something. Your email isn't broken. It's weaponized. There are 22 ways you've been leaving the door wide open. Google won't tell you this because the data collection feeds their entire ad engine. Give me 14 minutes." Here's what she showed him:

  I tried to login gmail after my computer restarted and it asks me for phone verification, but my phone is off, so I clicked "Try Another Way". The "Try Another Way" is also phone verification (literally the same exact thing). It then offers a third way, which is TO CHECK MY EMAIL (that I can't sign into) for a recovery code LMAO. The fourth way is to install a *future* recovery email address so that this doesn't happen in the future. Why is literally everything retarded in 2026? Does anyone actually work at any of these companies?

  I believe fintechs should start adopting signing in with Google authentication because the era of passwords is gradually ending. It doesn't make sense that I enter my password, and then they send an OTP to my email to verify me. Signing in with Google does the same thing. Passkeys are now becoming the new passwords, and they're ten times safer. Even Google, Apple, and Microsoft had to collaborate for passkeys. Signing in with Google makes much more sense because, for someone to hack into your account, they first need to hack your entire Google account, which Google secures heavily. It becomes very difficult to access someone else's account without permission. I love what @privy_io is doing: how they easily use Gmail to create crypto wallets for users. Building a company is about solving problems, not about making solutions longer

  The browser war quietly ended. Google just hasn't realized it yet. An ex-Google engineer just open-sourced a Chromium browser with AI built into the browser itself not as another extension. It comes with: • Native AI agents • Built-in MCP server • Local LLM support via Ollama • 40+ integrations (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Figma, Linear, Salesforce, and more) • Scheduled AI tasks • Natural language browser automation It can research the web, fill forms, book flights, summarize pages, and even write to your local files—all from a single prompt. The best part? Everything can run locally. Your data stays on your machine. And it's 100% open source. Chrome can't easily ship a browser like this because its business depends on keeping you browsing and showing ads. That's the innovator's dilemma in real time.

  Voice agents just got their first real use case. ElevenLabs /agents (free alpha) reportedly connects voice to Slack, Notion, Gmail + MCP. The bottleneck was never voice quality — it was action execution. Wire it to your MCP server. What's the first workflow you'd automate?

  Notes from MIT 6.566 Lecture 8 on web security. Web security addresses a different problem than operating systems or smartphones: a single browser manages multiple applications simultaneously. Gmail runs in one tab, your bank in another, all sharing the same process space. The threat model assumes the user's browser will visit the attacker's website. The attacker controls both a malicious tab in your browser and a server on the internet. This is realistic because users cannot avoid bad sites. Even trusted sites like New York Times accept ads that can run arbitrary JavaScript. The browser must prevent the attacker's tab from accessing Gmail messages, bank credentials, or impersonating requests to legitimate servers. Unlike desktop security, not every application can access everything by asking.

  3. Invisible Tracking Pixels The Situation: You open an email from a marketer, glance at it for three seconds, and delete it. Two hours later, you get a follow-up email from the same person saying, "Hey, noticed you took a look at my last email!" It feels like magic, but it’s actually invasive surveillance. The Mechanics: Marketers embed a 1x1 transparent pixel (literally a single, invisible dot of light) inside the body of the email. When you open the message, your email client has to "download" that pixel from the marketer's server to display it. When that download happens, the server logs your exact IP address, the type of device you are holding, your geographic location, and the precise second you opened the email. They use this behavioral data to time their next spam attack perfectly. The Fix: You must cut off their surveillance cameras. Go to Gmail Settings > General > Images. Switch the toggle to "Ask before displaying external images." Now, your emails will load as raw text first. The tracking pixel is blocked in the cloud until you explicitly click "display images," blinding the marketers completely.

  Google just made three paid features free in one update. Most people scrolled right past it. Here's what actually changed: ✔ Personalized AI image generation pulled from your Gmail, Photos, and Search — is now free for US users (was locked behind a paid plan). ✔ A new fast image model is rolling into the Gemini app, Search, Photos, and NotebookLM at once. ✔ A brand-new video tool lets you edit clips using plain language instead of software, no timeline required. ✔ Students 18+ in Indonesia, Japan, the UK, and Brazil get a free Gemini upgrade through July. ✔ Camera-to-image generation is now live globally on Android and iOS. Free tiers used to mean "watered down." Not anymore. Save this. You'll know exactly which Gemini features cost nothing before your feed catches up. Want the SOP? DM me.
