Get the feeling you’re suddenly being bombarded with emails from companies about updated terms of service policies?

You are. And there’s a good reason: the European Union’s forthcoming efforts to protect our personal data.

In April 2016, the EU announced it would soon be adopting the General Data Protection Regulation — a law that will more thoroughly govern the personal information and private data that companies and online social media platforms are able to access. Basically, the GDPR aims to ensure all your information is being used by companies responsibly. Read more…

Say hello to the new Gmail with self-destructing messages, email snoozing and more

sudshr47 April 25, 2018

Today, Google is launching the biggest revamp of Gmail in years. The company is bringing to the flagship Gmail service many (but not all) of the features it trialed in Inbox for Gmail, and adding a few new ones, too. With those new features, which we first reported earlier this month, the company is also […]

Gmail accounts appear to send out spam, and their owners are baffled

Something is not right in the land of Gmail. 

Numerous account holders woke up Sunday morning to discover a raft of spam emails sitting in their sent folders, and that even after changing their passwords the emails kept going out. At least some of these people, including a Mashable editor, had two-factor authentication enabled on their accounts. 

“My email account has sent out 3 spam emails in the past hour to a list of about 10 addresses that I don’t recongnize,” read an April 21 post to a Google Help Forum. “I changed my password immediately after the first one, but then it happened again 2 more times.” Read more…

This takes “tech-literate” to a whole new level.

Writer and co-creator of Cougar Town Kevin Biegel shared a special gem on his Twitter from his grandma.

Well, you’ve done it. You’ve written the email that will land you the job, get you the big meeting, or convince your landlord to finally replace your non-functional stove.

But now you must choose how to end your flawless email. Do you play it safe and use “Best” as your sign-off? Do you reveal your enthusiasm with an exclamation point? Do you go rogue and make a joke about how you, like Garfield, hate Mondays? It’s a big choice.
