Are you absolutely sure that it's from Google?There's warning going around from Google
Impossible to say when we don't know that "it" is.Possibly not, but it convince me, why would they warn you of their own virus, I kept getting a blue box up with a message approx every 5 minute which has stopped now. I ran a virus scan with Norton and it found nothing, but I still wonder how can it hack your bank account
Well you seem to know all about it and how it works so I'm confused as to why you're asking about it here?Scammers just found a new phishing lure to play with: Google Drive. A flaw in the Drive is being exploited to send out seemingly legitimate emails and push notifications from Google that, if opened, could land people on malicious websites. The scam itself is nothing new – messages asking you to click on dodgy links are as old as the internet itself – but could catch a lot of people off guard.
The smartest part of the scam is that the emails and notifications it generates come directly from Google. On mobile, the scam uses the collaboration feature in Google Drive to generate a push notification inviting people to collaborate on a document. If tapped, the notification takes you directly to a document that contains a very large, tempting link. An email notification created by the scam, which also comes from Google, also contains a potentially malicious link. Unlike regular spam, which Gmail does a pretty good job of filtering out, this message not only makes it into your inbox, it gets an added layer of legitimacy by coming from Google itself.
It's not hype. Questioning if it's possible is giving you a false sense of security.I am not looking at the hacker, I am looking at the possibility of gaining access to my account with all of the security around it 3 levels. Does anyone know if this is just hype to scare us or is it possible
Most of these operate by either fooling you into visiting a fake site you think is your bank or installing a browser add-on that can then view all your browsing activity.Does anyone know if this is just hype to scare us or is it possible
