Millions of users around the world have been warned about this security issue, especially since it is associated with Facebook's logout.

Youssef Sammouda, a security researcher, said that according to Forbes, the authentication code for Google's free email service was being exploited. The error is linked to Facebook. Similarly, this security issue may affect linked accounts used when signing up for Gmail. Youssef Sammouda added that Google OAuth redirects are linked to FB's logout. Additionally, it is connected to sandbox systems.

Google OAuth is a shortcut to "open authorization" implemented by users of technology giants such as Microsoft and Amazon.

For example, this standard enables individuals to link their accounts to third-party websites. In this case, you will use the same username and password shared with the app. Moreover, the impact of this exploitation is even more worrying, Youssef Sammouda said. He cited Facebook giving him a $ 44,625 "bug bounty" for the result.

Malwarebytes Labs, a well-known cyber security firm, has issued a warning to users who use a linked account. "Linked accounts were invented to make it easier to log in. You can use an account to log in to other apps, sites and services ... All you have to do to access the account is verify that the account is yours," wrote malware intelligence researcher Peter Arts.

He explained that they do not recommend relying on a single password when logging in to multiple sites. This is because there is no guarantee that your password will be stolen when you sign up.

The dubious scheme suggests that all customers can only claim the rebate until June 1st. For this part, you will be prompted to click on a button that will lead you to a fake email.

As the authorities found out about its existence, Action Fraud warned the users about this threat. The country's reporting center has urged everyone to avoid clicking on fake Ofgem emails.
