Iâve just been alerted to a new scam being played on gmail users: http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-gmail-phishing-attack-uiuc -bsi-20170119-story.html
The brief details are: Gmail users receive an email that may appear to come from someone they know, including what looks like an attachment. When users click on that attachment, a new tab opens up and users are prompted to sign into what looks like Gmail. But that copycat site is actually a site attackers use to collect login information, and once users log in, their Gmail account is compromised. and to avoid getting caught: users should be careful to spot a green lock icon in their browser address bar â if using Google Chrome â and make sure the URL begins with âhttps://â. The copycat Gmail login site begins with ââdata:text/htmlâ and should not be trusted.
