"Hey guys, I just got phished by a pretty convincing email claiming my Gmail account was compromised and I needed to reset my password ASAP. Luckily, I've been using a password manager for years and was able to flag the email as suspicious before entering any info. Has anyone else been seeing a rise in these types of emails?"

"just a heads up, guys, make sure you're using 2FA and keeping your recovery email info on the down low. I had a friend's account get compromised last year and it was a total pain to recover. Don't get lazy with your security, it's not worth the risk"

"Just got a phishing email myself, was a pretty convincing one too. Make sure to update those 2FA settings ASAP and keep an eye out for unfamiliar login attempts. Changed my password just to be safe."
