Google discovered a new scam—and also fell victim to it

Google has uncovered a new online scam and has also been a victim of it. The scam involves hackers impersonating Google employees to trick people into giving up their login credentials. This happened just two months after Google warned the public about a similar ongoing scam. The tech giant discovered that hackers were using fake emails and websites to impersonate Google support staff and trick users into providing their login information. This allowed the hackers to gain access to the victims' accounts and potentially steal sensitive data or use the accounts for further malicious activities. Google has acknowledged that it was also targeted by this scam and has taken steps to address the issue, including strengthening its security measures and working with law enforcement to investigate the incident. The company has urged users to be vigilant and to verify the authenticity of any communication claiming to be from Google before providing any personal information.
