I got a real Google security alert, but it has a strange link in it. Is it safe?
Reviewed answer
The email can be real while the link inside is a trap. Don't open it.
- Don't open any link in it that isn't myaccount.google.com or accounts.google.com. Pages on sites.google.com can be made by anyone.
- Check your own account by typing myaccount.google.com yourself. You're fine unless you entered your password on that page.
- Delete the email, or use its remove link only after checking it goes to accounts.google.com. Report the page at safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish.
