HACKED - How to Protect Your Google Ads Account [Inside Google Ads Episode 108]

Описание: Imagine waking up to find your entire agency’s Google Ads Manager account has been compromised. In just minutes, hackers can remove your employees, lock out your clients, and rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraudulent spend. In this urgent episode of Inside Google Ads, host Jyll Saskin Gales pulls back the curtain on the sophisticated phishing tactics currently targeting agencies and high-level practitioners.

We move beyond the basic advice of "use a strong password" to break down how hackers are bypassing two-factor authentication and using "shell" login pages to steal access in real-time. Jyll shares harrowing stories from industry veterans and provides a step-by-step safety playbook that Google hasn't provided. You’ll learn the only 100% safe way to log into your account, how to properly grant access to others, and exactly what to do if the worst-case scenario happens to you. This is a must-listen for anyone managing Google Ads at scale.

Please note: if your account has been hacked, there is nothing that Jyll can do to help your specific situation. Everything she can offer you right now is in this episode, and she will keep this article updated with new tips, warnings and security suggestions going forward: https://learn.jyll.ca/blog/how-to-pro...
