Google warns: Phishing attack targets Gmail users

Google warns Gmail users of a new phishing attack, advising them to never respond to unsolicited messages claiming to be from Google support. This is the key to protecting their accounts. The attack involves emails appearing to be from Google, prompting users to take action via a link, potentially leading to account takeover. Google has patched vulnerabilities exploited in the attack, but similar schemes are expected to continue. This warning applies to all tech companies, banks, and law enforcement agencies; they will not contact users to resolve account issues. Users should always verify any suspicious communication through official channels.
