This article (link in first comment below) is a little bit technical, but the lesson is clear: do not click on links received in emails (unless you are expecting them) even if the email appears to be legitimate.
I received an email purportedly from "The Google Ads Team" urging me to create a passkey for extra security in the login process. If I choose to create a passkey, I will do it while logged in directly to the ads platform, not by clicking on a link in an email!
You CANNOT be too careful today, folks! Please beware.
