Cloudeight InfoAve \" width=\"194\" height=\"146\" \/>A new Forbes report warns of a growing threat to Gmail&#8217;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 &#8220;support agents&#8221; often claim the user&#8217;s account has been compromised or needs recovery.
