FBI issues warning to all Gmail, Outlook email users
Published on March 15, 2025

Now is the time to act if you want to keep a Google account you haven't used in a while.
Starting Dec. 1, Google will start deleting "inactive" accounts — that is, accounts that haven't been used in at least two years.
Google accounts give access to the company's other products, including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet, Calendar, Photos and YouTube.
That means emails, videos, photos, documents and any other content sitting in an inactive account are at risk.
