Remember that old Gmail account you created to register for websites when you didn't want to get blitzed with spam afterward? If you haven't logged on in a while, now would be a good time to make an appearance. |
Forgotten or unattended accounts are more likely to be compromised because they "often rely on old or re-used passwords that may have been compromised, haven't had two-factor authentication set up, and receive fewer security checks by the user," Google said. |

There is such a thing as too much shrimp |
On any other day, we'd save this for Today's Menu. But news is slow, as much of our nation lingers in a turkey coma -- or, apparently, a shrimp coma. |
The seafood chain's "Ultimate Endless Shrimp" offer proved wildly popular. Too popular, in fact, contributing to a $11 million loss for the chain in the third quarter. |

In June, Ultimate Endless Shrimp landed a permanent spot on Red Lobster menus. By fall, Red Lobster's parent company, Thai Union Group, was headed toward a $20 million loss for 2023. |
Red Lobster has raised the price of Ultimate Endless Shrimp to $25. But will that stem the tide of red cocktail sauce? Only time will tell. Red Lobster representatives did not immediately return USA TODAY's calls for further crustacean comment. |
