What if I say you about phishing attacks?
It may not sound so effective but, beware, of this dangerously convincing ongoing phishing attack.
Recently, security researchers have discovered a new phishing campaign targeting Gmail users.
Thats what happened to British comedian Tom Scott.
When opening a common email in Gmail, Scott saw that it had a supposed attachment and almost clicked.
It did well: the block was actually an image that led to a fake Google login page.
This is the closest I’ve ever come to falling for a Gmail phishing attack.
If it was not too blurry to be in Gmail, even I would click.
This specific phishing technique was identified by Wordfence earlier this year.
The main tip is: be careful.
Also, look for a green padlock next to the URL.
Also enable 2-step authentication to prevent intrusions, even if the hacker has your password.
