Gujarat police to query Google over 513,847 fake Gmail accounts

Gujarat police uncovered over 500,000 fake Gmail IDs used by a criminal network since 2022 to send inter-state bomb hoaxes to government offices.

Investigators plan to designate Google as a subject of the probe, seeking policy changes after finding that suspects bypassed two-factor authentication safeguards.

The network's activities were exposed following a specific bomb threat received by the state government on September 10, shortly before the BRICS summit.
