Google Highly Protection for Google Users

What will Google give free USB security to 10,000 users who are at high risk of hacking like politicians and human rights activists. These USB keys will provide ‘two-factor authentication’ or two levels of security as an additional security measure after the password.

Google says it wants to encourage users to join a "high-profile" or "advanced protection program" designed for important people. Google recently warned thousands of users that they could be targeted by hackers.

Google identified a hacking campaign in late September. Shane Huntley, director of Google's Threat Analysis Group, said in a statement that hackers had targeted about 14,000 users in various industries.

Huntley said a group of Russian hackers named APT26 were involved in the cyber attack and tried to "phishing" by sending fake emails.

"Whatever we do, we warn people who are targeted by government-backed hackers"; Huntley also said that phishing emails have been successfully blocked.

The BBC reports that APT 26, also known as 'Fancy Bear'; The hackers are controlled by Russian military intelligence, according to US and UK officials. They have tried to hack the accounts of various important users of Google before.

In 2016, another phishing campaign of the team was launched by Dell SecureWorks. The group of hackers attacked the accounts of nearly 4,000 users of "corporate and institutional email accounts that used Gmail."

The victims of the service's phishing attack were the National Committee of the Democratic Party of America and the campaign workers of Hillary Clinton for the post of US President. The BBC reports that data collected from hacking was later leaked to influence the US presidential election.

Following the new warning, Google announced new measures for key individuals at risk of hacking. The company has announced to send free 'Titan' security to 10,000 users. The market price of the product starts from 41.

Google said in a blog post that it has formed an alliance with multiple organizations to distribute security keys. In addition, Google recently announced that it will "automatically bring 150 million customers under the two-factor authentication system." YouTube's 2 million content creators have been asked to launch a two-factor authentication system on their own initiative.

In May, Google announced that it would gradually bring its customers under more secure measures.
