Is the mail that came from gaia bounces google com legit?

372    Asked by AnilJha in Salesforce , Asked on Apr 1, 2022

I received an email from gaia.bounces.google.com, supposedly from Google, which asked me to click on a link to check my security status. Is this legitimate? I searched with my Norton Safe Search but couldn't find this .com at all.

Is there a possibility that this email from gaia bounces google com is not phishing Maybe, this seems like a legit email similar to the one you recieved, even though the email seems on first impression to be very likely to be spam.

  • How should I respond to suspicious emails
  • Do not click links in the email
  • Navigate to the site mentioned manually

In this case googling google security checkup gives a link to https://myaccount.google.com/security-checkup/1?pli=1 The advice from the link above seems to mirror this: Holmes stressed that when someone receives an alert like this, the right thing to do is to first “take a deep breath,” and then open a new browser window and manually type and navigate to the settings of the service in question (in this case, to myaccount.google.com/security-checkup) and see what’s going on there, without ever clicking on the link in the email.
