Google Warns 2.5 Billion Users of Sophisticated AI Attack

Google Warns 2.5 Billion User of AI Attack... Cloudeight InfoAve A new Forbes report warns of a growing threat to Gmail’s 2.5 billion users: AI-powered phishing attacks. As AI voice technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, cybercriminals are leveraging it to create highly convincing scams. The report details how attackers are making phone calls while impersonating Google support, even spoofing caller ID to appear legitimate. These “support agents” often claim the user’s account has been compromised or needs recovery. To reinforce the deception, they then send an email to the victim’s Gmail account from a seemingly authentic Google address, often including a fake recovery code. This multi-pronged approach, combining realistic phone calls and emails, poses a significant risk to Gmail users.

    I like your article, thank you for the information. However, when I went to the Forbes article, it is good, but I deal with some senior citizens and I believe this article is beyond their comprehension. Perhaps if you wrote an article summarizing what the Forbes article is saying in mor layman terms, it would be more helpful to those who aren’t computer savvy.

      I have shortened the summary and made it more concise and less technical. Let me know if it’s easier to understand.
