People running an older version of Android could be putting their Gmail accounts at risk, CheckPoint reported Nov. 30. The cybersecurity firm said a piece of malware called Gooligan mines Android devices for email addresses and authentication tokens, giving hackers the ability to breach Gmail, Google Photos, Google Docs, Google Play, Google Drive and G Suite accounts. The company said 1 million Google accounts had been affected at a rate of 13,000 devices a day.

WikiHow lists several ways to hack Gmail, admonishing that it’s illegal to hack anyone’s account except your own.
