  Warning: Google’s Broken Support System & Irresponsibly Designed Family Link Parental Feature is Enabling a New Wave of Ransomware Attacks tl;dr - Google created a feature capable of transferring near-total control of an account, failed to place meaningful guardrails, verification, or intelligent abuse detection around it, and provides virtually no effective recovery support once it is weaponized. That combination has created a prolific new form of consumer account ransomware: attackers steal an authenticated session, convert the victim’s account into a supervised child account, install themselves as the controlling parent, and then extort the victim using the threat of permanent account loss and mass identity theft. This just happened to a family member. He used the same Gmail account for nearly his entire adult life, and it became the central identity behind almost everything he did online. His email history, Google Photos, Drive files, gaming accounts, password resets, subscriptions, and years of personal information were all connected to it. He is not temporarily “locked out.” Unless Google intervenes, the account is permanently lost and now controlled by someone else. The initial compromise appears to have started with common information stealing malware, A/K/A "Stealers". Stealers extract browser data such as cookies, saved credentials, and active session tokens. A stolen session is especially dangerous because the attacker may not need to know the password or defeat two-factor authentication. They are operating through a browser session that Google already considers authenticated. The attacker then abuses Google’s own account management features. They change the victim’s date of birth, so the adult account appears to belong to a child, trigger the Family Link supervision process, and add an attacker-controlled Google account as the parent. From there, they can reset the password, terminate the victim’s sessions, and establish themselves as the trusted authority over the account. That abuse is serious on its own, but Google’s support and recovery failures are what make this vector exceptionally dangerous. In a functioning recovery system, the legitimate owner would be able to report the compromise, verify years of account ownership, reverse the fraudulent supervision change, and remove the attacker. Instead, victims are pushed into automated recovery flows that often defer to the attacker-controlled “parent” account. There is frequently no meaningful escalation path, no competent human review, and no practical way to challenge the fraudulent change. In other words, this is not merely an account takeover technique. It is a permanent account-destruction technique made possible by Google’s inability or unwillingness to support its own users. The attacker exploits the feature, but Google’s recovery model completes the attack. Without that failure, this would be a recoverable security incident rather than the permanent loss of someone’s digital identity. Google's lack of underlying controls is also difficult to defend. An account that has used the same adult birthdate for ten years should not suddenly be converted into a supervised child account without extensive verification. A new Family Link parent should not be able to immediately reset credentials and displace the established owner. Changes with this level of impact should require step-up authentication, confirmation through long-standing recovery channels, delayed activation, prominent alerts, and a rollback mechanism that the newly added parent cannot override. The consequences extend far beyond Gmail. Once the attacker controls the primary email address, they can reset passwords for other services, impersonate the victim, access private files and photos, target contacts, distribute malware, and recover accounts across the victim’s digital life. Any passwords, payment data, or notes stolen during the original infostealer infection may create additional losses. AI is making the surrounding ecosystem worse by lowering the cost of creating convincing fake applications, download pages, advertisements, support sites, and social-engineering material. Less capable criminals can now launch higher-volume campaigns against ordinary users rather than focusing only on large corporate targets. Smaller ransom demands and individual account theft can still be highly profitable when repeated at scale. The most disturbing part is that this could happen to almost anyone. Google has spent years encouraging people to use one account as their email provider, cloud archive, photo library, identity provider, and recovery mechanism for the rest of their online lives. When a company creates that level of dependence, it also assumes a responsibility to provide competent recovery when its own features are abused. Right now, Google is failing that responsibility. Until it adds stronger controls and a real human escalation process, Family Link remains an extraordinarily high-impact account-takeover vector capable of permanently separating people from their entire digital lives. Please fix this @Google @TeamYouTube

  Chat Control 1.0 passed without a single MEP changing their mind. The vote that killed it in March and the vote that revived it in July had almost the same numbers, the difference was a procedural rule nobody outside Brussels was watching. Run the actual mechanics, because the “passed by default” framing is doing real work here. In March, the European Parliament voted 311 against, 228 in favor, rejecting an extension of the temporary law that lets platforms like Gmail, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger voluntarily scan for known CSAM. That should have ended it. Instead, the EU Council adopted the Commission’s original text as a second-reading position in July, which triggered a different legal threshold entirely: Parliament could now only block it with an absolute majority of all 720 members, 361 votes, not simply more votes against than for. In the actual July vote, 314 MEPs opposed it, more than opposed it in March, and it still passed, because absences and abstentions count as support under that rule. Here’s what the amendment actually changed, and it matters more than the “chat control” branding suggests. MEPs explicitly exempted end-to-end encrypted services like WhatsApp and Signal from the law’s scope. This wasn’t a new concession; true end-to-end encryption already made server-side scanning technically impossible, since neither the platform nor anyone but the two parties involved holds the decryption key. What the exemption formally rules out is any future attempt to extend this specific temporary law into encrypted spaces, not a rollback of protections that were previously in place there. The law that did pass applies only to platforms that can already access message content directly, Gmail, Snapchat, Messenger, Skype, Xbox, using hash-matching against known CSAM databases, AI classification for new material, and text analysis for grooming patterns. It authorizes this scanning; it does not require it. Supporters, including the rapporteur who backed the extension, argue the alternative is a legal gap that stops platforms from continuing detection work that has directly led to arrests and rescues. Critics, including privacy researchers and MEPs like Markéta Gregorová, argue the procedural route used to revive a rejected bill undermines Parliament’s own rules regardless of the underlying merits of CSAM detection itself. The permanent framework, Chat Control 2.0, is still being negotiated, and it’s the version that would introduce mandatory client-side scanning even on encrypted platforms, the change privacy advocates consider the actual red line. This vote didn’t decide that fight. It just kept the temporary, voluntary version alive while it continues.

  Mini-rant. Every time I open gmail on the browser, I get this message: "Oops, something went wrong". To fix it, I try everything suggested by OAI. Then I contact @google customer service. After an hour of chat, of sending all possible screenshots (in multiple browsers also incognito mode), the exchange with OAI and the remedies, and then even a video of the event (!), the representative says "oh sorry, we are google one, not workspace." me: "can you at least forward the exchange?". Of course not. You have to spend another hour. It seems completely absurd. I am 90% curious about fixing a google problem *for them*. I have been thinking about what makes tech companies good. A sign of organizational rot is the "I don't care about what's good for the firm, this is the process" and it close cousin "This is very hard to do", and the "Why make trouble? This works well". Nothing works quite as expected, both at great companies and mediocre ones. It's just that these expectations are different.

  What Is n8n and How Can You Make Money From It? What Is n8n? n8n is a workflow automation platform used to connect applications and automate repetitive tasks. The automated processes created inside n8n are called workflows. A workflow usually begins with a specific event and then performs a series of actions automatically. For example, when a potential customer completes a form on a website, n8n can automatically: Receive the customer’s information. Save the information in Google Sheets. Send a confirmation email to the customer. Notify the sales team. Add the customer to a customer relationship management system. Schedule a follow-up task. As a result, the entire process can be completed without manually entering the same information into several different applications. How Does n8n Work? n8n uses building blocks called nodes. Each node represents one step in an automated workflow. A node can be responsible for tasks such as: Receiving data from a form. Reading an email. Sending a message. Updating a spreadsheet. Connecting to another application. Running an artificial intelligence model. Processing or modifying data. Creating an automated report. Users connect these nodes to create a complete system. A simple workflow may look like this: New customer request → Save customer information → Send confirmation → Notify employee → Create report Each step is executed automatically according to the rules created by the user. Does n8n Require Programming Skills? Beginners can use n8n without having advanced programming knowledge because it provides a visual interface for building workflows. Users can add nodes, connect them, and configure each step without writing large amounts of code. However, learning some technical skills can help users build more advanced systems, including: Basic JavaScript. Application programming interfaces, or APIs. Webhooks. JSON data. Databases. Artificial intelligence concepts. For this reason, n8n is considered a low-code platform. It is accessible to beginners but also provides advanced features for developers. Common Uses of n8n n8n can be used in many different business areas. Customer Service Automation A business can create a system that receives customer messages, classifies them, sends automatic responses, and transfers complicated cases to a customer service employee. Sales Automation n8n can collect potential customer information, store it in a CRM system, send follow-up messages, and notify the sales team. Appointment Booking n8n can connect booking forms with calendars, email applications, and customer management systems. When a customer books an appointment, the system can save the information, send a confirmation message, and send a reminder before the appointment. Automated Reports The platform can collect sales, advertising, or financial data from different sources and send a daily or weekly report to the business owner. Content Creation n8n can be connected to artificial intelligence tools to create draft social media posts, product descriptions, emails, and marketing content. The content can then be sent to an employee for review before publication. Invoice and Document Processing A workflow can receive invoices or documents, extract important information, and save the details in a spreadsheet or accounting system. The extracted information may include: Customer names. Invoice numbers. Dates. Prices. Products. Payment information. Chatbot Automation n8n can be connected to chatbots and artificial intelligence models. The chatbot can answer customer questions, collect information, book appointments, or send requests to the appropriate employee. How Can You Make Money From n8n? Making money from n8n does not usually mean selling the platform itself. The main opportunity is to create solutions that help clients save time, reduce costs, improve customer service, or increase sales. There are several ways to generate income from n8n. 1. Provide Automation Services to Businesses A freelancer can offer to build automation systems for small and medium-sized businesses. For example, a freelancer may create a system for a medical clinic that: Receives appointment requests. Records patient information. Sends confirmation messages. Sends appointment reminders. Notifies the receptionist. The freelancer can charge a one-time project fee depending on the complexity and number of steps in the workflow. 2. Charge a Monthly Maintenance Fee After building the automation system, the freelancer can charge the client a monthly fee for: Monitoring the workflows. Fixing technical problems. Updating the system. Adding new steps. Managing service usage. Providing technical support. A monthly maintenance plan can create recurring and more predictable income. 3. Sell Ready-Made Workflow Templates Freelancers can create reusable n8n templates for common business tasks. Examples include: Lead collection systems. Customer follow-up workflows. E-commerce order tracking. Appointment reminder systems. Content publishing workflows. Automated sales reports. A template can be sold to several customers, making it possible to earn money from the same workflow more than once. 4. Offer Automation Consulting A freelancer can study how a company operates and identify tasks that can be automated. The freelancer can then prepare an automation plan and recommend suitable tools and workflows. In this model, the freelancer earns money from the consultation and may also be hired to build the automation system. 5. Create a Digital Product n8n can be used as the automation engine behind a digital product or subscription-based service. Examples include: An automatic quotation generator. A message summarization tool. A customer follow-up system. A review analysis tool. An automated reporting service. An appointment booking system. A content generation service. The customer may use a simple website or application while n8n manages the automated processes in the background. 6. Teach Other People After gaining experience, a person can make money by teaching n8n through: Online courses. Private lessons. Company workshops. Educational videos. Paid templates. Training materials. Teaching can become an additional income source for freelancers who have practical experience. Examples of Profitable n8n Projects Automation System for a Medical Clinic The system receives patient information, records it, schedules appointments, sends confirmations, and sends reminders before each appointment. Lead Management System for a Real Estate Company The system collects the customer’s name, phone number, budget, preferred location, and property type. It then sends the information to the sales representative and stores it in the company’s CRM. Order Management System for an Online Store The workflow receives new orders, records them, sends confirmation messages, notifies the delivery team, and updates the order status. Student Management System for a Training Center The system records student information, confirms registration, organizes course dates, sends reminders, and may automatically send certificates after course completion. Automated Content System The system receives content ideas from a spreadsheet, uses artificial intelligence to create a draft, and sends the result for review before publication. Tools That Can Be Connected to n8n n8n can connect with many popular tools and platforms, including: Google Sheets. Gmail. Telegram. Slack. WordPress. Airtable. Notion. Google Calendar. CRM platforms. Databases. Artificial intelligence tools. E-commerce stores. Accounting systems. Project management platforms. It can also connect with many systems that provide an API. How to Start Learning n8n A beginner can follow these steps: Learn how to create basic workflows. Practice connecting Google Sheets and email applications. Learn webhooks and APIs gradually. Build one complete practice project. Choose a specific business sector, such as clinics or real estate. Record a short demonstration video of the project. Offer the service on freelance platforms or directly to businesses. Charge a setup fee and a monthly maintenance fee. Improve the system by adding artificial intelligence features. Tips for Making Money With n8n Freelancers should not focus only on the name of the tool when speaking to clients. Most clients are not interested in whether the system was built with n8n, Make, Zapier, or another platform. They are interested in the result. Important benefits to explain include: Saving hours of manual work. Reducing data-entry errors. Preventing the loss of potential customers. Responding to customers faster. Improving order management. Receiving automatic reports. Increasing employee productivity. Instead of saying: “I will build an n8n workflow for your company.” A freelancer can say: “I will build a system that automatically records every customer coming from your advertisements, sends an immediate response, and notifies your sales employee so that no potential customer is lost.” This approach focuses on business value instead of technical details. Conclusion n8n is a powerful platform for automation and artificial intelligence integration. It allows users to connect applications and execute repetitive tasks automatically. Freelancers can make money from n8n by providing automation services, building chatbots, connecting business systems, selling templates, offering consulting services, teaching others, and creating digital products. The best way to begin is to build a simple project that solves a real business problem. After that, the freelancer can gradually improve their technical skills and create more advanced solutions. The real value does not come from using the tool itself. It comes from creating a system that helps the client save time, reduce costs, improve operations, or increase profits.

  The immediate future of ALL agents is coding agents, and although I could be wrong, I believe this surprising fact is going to be a HUGE boost for @typescript in particular. Let me explain. If your business wants an agent to assist with customer support, employee onboarding, outbound sales, or payroll, then the agent they need is actually a coding agent. The reason for this is quite simple: coding agents have an ability to leverage their training data to solve general-purpose problems, in ways shapes by the tools they have access to. An outbound sales agent assistant can talk to your knowledge base, pull some contacts from your CRM, analyze conversation history, do a web search to learn about each prospect, and then send email through your Gmail account to each prospect. Doing all of this stuff, and doing even more that the agent was never explicitly designed to do, requires the ability to write, test, and execute code for ad hoc, one-off problems. Only a coding agent can do that, and thanks to innovation at the level of the model and harness, a coding agent can do it well. Now, a true general-purpose coding agent can work in any code base, in any language, in any operating system, and with any tech stack. Of course, that type of coding agent is very useful to developers. However, it's overkill for most agentic systems. Most custom agents do not actually need to work with any code base or any language and on any operating system. They just need the ability to write code in some language (which has a lot of libraries) and execute on some platform. What is the ideal language and platform? I'd argue that @typescript fits the bill PERFECTLY. Since TypeScript compiles to Javascript, it can run securely, in a completely sandboxed way, inside V8 isolates, WASM, etc., all of which creates a compelling story for secure, efficient, and scalable custom agent execution. Moreover, because TypeScript adds types to Javascript, those types can be used to catch a lot of common bugs and runtime errors that a Javascript coding agent would have trouble catching in advance--allowing for far faster and more efficient solution of general-purpose problems. So, while general-purpose coding agents will of course need to support all programming languages, platforms, and tech stacks, custom agents are likely to be specialized -- while they will be coding agents, they don't need to work with any programming language, platform, or tech stack. They just need to work with one, and currently, the best option appears to be @TypeScript, for reasons of security, portability, type-safety, and efficiency. Is it any wonder TypeScript is home to some of the most amazing innovations currently happening in AI?

  @Google Subject: Request for Investigation into Suspected Unauthorized Access and Recovery of Deleted Gmail Emails Dear Google Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance regarding what I believe may have been an unauthorized compromise of my Gmail account. In or around 2023, I discovered that a significant portion of my email history—spanning from approximately 2009 through to 2024—had been deleted. I did not delete these emails, nor did I authorize anyone else to do so. Their disappearance came as a complete surprise and has caused me considerable concern. Between 2022 and 2024, I was involved in highly contentious family court proceedings. Given the circumstances during that period, I have reason to be concerned that my email account may have been accessed without my knowledge. While I cannot say with certainty how this occurred, I would be grateful if Google could investigate whether there is any evidence of unauthorized access or unusual account activity. If possible, I respectfully request any information that Google is able to provide regarding: Whether there was any large-scale or bulk deletion of emails from my account. The approximate date and time when those deletions occurred. Which folder or location the emails were deleted from (for example, Inbox, Archive, Trash, or another mailbox). The IP addresses, devices, locations, and login history associated with my account during the relevant period, particularly throughout 2022–2024 and around the suspected deletion in 2023. Whether there were any unusual sign-ins, security alerts, or changes made to my account settings. Whether there is any possibility of recovering the deleted emails, or if backups or archived copies exist that may assist in restoring them. These emails are of immense personal and legal importance. They contain correspondence and records accumulated over many years, and their recovery would be invaluable. I understand that Google has policies regarding user privacy and data retention, and I appreciate that there may be limitations on the information or recovery options available. Nevertheless, I would be sincerely grateful for any assistance or guidance you can provide in investigating this matter. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to your response and appreciate any help you are able to offer. Yours faithfully, Wale.

  Now imagine an AI agent. Today it needs GitHub. Tomorrow it needs Gmail. Then PostgreSQL. Then Docker. Then your local files. Then AWS. Then Notion. Then a browser. Unlike traditional software, an AI agent isn’t built for one workflow. It’s expected to perform many different tasks across many different systems. That’s where the problem starts. Every tool speaks differently. Every API has different rules. The AI doesn’t just need access to tools… It needs a consistent way to understand and use them.
