Well, it seems we can’t go two weeks without being warned about the latest scam!

This time the target is GMAIL.

Scammers are sending emails to your gmail account with a shared google doc link.

If clicked on, the link takes you to what appears to be a “real” google page. Users are asked to grant the fake Docs app the ability to “read, send, delete and manage your email”, as well as “manage your contacts.”

If you agree, hackers gain access to the contents of  your emails, contact lists and online documents.

Google is aware of the scam and is already in the process of dealing with it, but you should still remain wary of any incoming emails with documents you weren’t expecting.

STAY SAFE! Like online and in real life and just in general…cause we love you.
