There is a very convincing phishing attack making its way through the internet today. Be on the lookout!
We got bit by this today and it spammed 500+ contacts that I have. I don't use gmail for work very often, but it is linked to an old email l and It took over my account nonetheless and spammed everyone with this hack.
You'll get an email from a trusted source containing a link to a google doc. The linked page appears to be coming from google, once clicked they have access to your google account and they can do who knows what..... received 5 calls, 10 texts and about 30 emails from from people who bit on my email link. Changed my passwords, so hopefully the damage is isolated.
I now have digital herpes. Fantastic.
Its been out just long enough for someone to write an article.
