Olexweb- The service markets a Gmail‑reading feature that supposedly survives password changes and session revocation
- It claims operators can intercept email verification codes without needing browser cookies
- It promises that password changes and session revocation do not stop access
- It offers the ability to share mailbox access with other operators via links
Gmail is the primary communication tool for many Nigerians, students, creators and small businesses, and it often serves as a recovery channel for other accounts. If an attacker truly retains access after a password change, they could hijack multiple services, leading to financial loss or data theft. Understanding the limits of such claims helps everyday users protect their online identity.
- 01Use a trusted device that you know is clean to secure your Google account
- 02Change your Google password, then review recent security events and remove unfamiliar devices or app access
- 03Inspect Gmail settings for unauthorized forwarding, filters, delegated access, and remote mail access
- 04Run reputable anti‑malware software on any device you suspect was infected, or reinstall the OS if needed
- 05Check other accounts that use Gmail for password recovery and update their security settings

Can Remus really keep Gmail access after I change my password?
The service claims it can, but independent testing has not confirmed that capability.
What should I do if I think my Gmail was accessed by Remus?
Secure the account from a clean device, change the password, review and revoke unknown access, and scan the suspected device with anti‑malware software.
Does changing my Google password stop all unauthorized access?
Normally it invalidates tokens, but stolen tokens could still allow access until you remove the malicious app or device.
