Google has today launched a free, opt‐in program aimed at users who believe their Google accounts - such as Gmail, Drive, YouTube etc. - to be at particularly high risk of targeted online attacks. The Advanced Protection Program currently consists of the three main elements: defending Gmail and Google account users against phishing attacks by requiring 2FA via a token generated by a hardware security key; locking down the risk of malicious applications grabbing sensitive data by automatically limiting full access to Gmail and Drive to just Google apps (for now); and reducing the risk of hackers gaining access to a Gmail account via impersonation by adding more steps to the account recovery process.
