Tech investor Mark Cuban recently lost access to his Gmail account after being tricked by a phone scammer. This incident highlights the importance of cybersecurity awareness, even for tech-savvy individuals.

The scam involved a caller claiming to be from Google (named Noah) and using a spoofed phone number to appear legitimate. The caller convinced Cuban his account was compromised and tricked him into revealing information supposedly needed for recovery. This information was then used to steal Cuban's access.

Cuban, fortunately, recovered his account and took to social media to warn others. This situation is a reminder to be wary of unsolicited calls or emails claiming account issues. Legitimate companies like Google will never request personal information through these channels.
