Google refutes mass‑breach rumors, saying Gmail blocks over 99.9% of phishing and malware; aftermath of Salesforce‑linked ShinyHunters exposure which involved business contact data

September 3, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Google issued a brief statement on its blog, promoting the security of Gmail following erroneous online claims of mass warnings sent to end users. The post keeps things both brief and vague. Google says it’s acting to “reassure” its customers that the platform is secure, and that reports of a “broad warning to all Gmail users” regarding a breach did not in fact occur. The blog post cites Google’s ability to block “more than 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts,” while also noting that its own recommended practices include the use of passkeys over traditional passwords. The reason behind this post seems to spawn from growing noise on both social media and in various press outlets over whether a group called ShinyHunters had gained access to general data on Gmail users at large. While some stories surrounding phishing attempts have made their way to Reddit — and, at the very least, appear to be accurate — it appears as though most of the noise is being made by reporters connecting a recent SalesForce breach with this blog post promoting passkey adoption.
