Google Uncovers China-Based Password Collection Campaign

D H NG writes "Google announced that it recently uncovered a campaign to collect users' passwords.

Google said it detected and has disrupted this campaign and has notified victims and secured their accounts, as well as notified the relevant government authorities."
