New phishing attacks target her accounts Google and as Bitdefender says, many users are already victims so far.
Bitdefender has identified a new type of attack that is crafted to be unrecoverable since it does not look like traditional phishing.
To the great displeasure of Google's friends, Chrome users are the most vulnerable to attacks because of the way the browser displays the data. This does not mean, however, that Firefox users are safe
"By accessing Google's user accounts", hackers can purchase Google Play applications, breach Google+ accounts, and gain access to Google Drive confidential documents. The scam starts with an email supposedly sent by Google, with a title 'Mail Notice' or 'New Lockout Notice' says Bitdefender.
The e-mail sent to users report that the accounts their email account will be locked within 24 hours due to not being able to increase their email storage capacity. The message contains a link that prompts users to click “INSTALL IMMEDIATELY” to avoid being locked out. accounts them..
When someone clicks on the link, they are redirected to a by clicking here which looks like the Google login page and asks for user authentication.
You should always remember in such cases to check the sender's email address by placing the mouse pointer over the sender's name to verify whether it matches or not. If you open the message and choose to "show details" below the sender's name, you will be able to see if the message is actually from Google or not.
Also, you should know that Gmail does not send unauthorized bulk messages, and when it does, the message does not come up with grammatical and syntax errors, along with content that makes you wonder.
