Phishing Attack on Gmail Accounts

There is a new phishing attack on Gmail accounts that is really hard to spot!

 

If you have a Gmail account or know someone who does…this is what you need to know!

 

Because I am a bit of a techno-nerd, (O.K., maybe a BIG techno-nerd.) I subscribe to several security newsletters. One of them just released a blog post about a new threat that is targeting Gmail users and their contacts.  Since approximately 60% of internet email is Gmail and those who don’t have a Gmail account, definitely communicate with others who do, this threat pretty much includes everyone!

 

However, what really makes this threat bad, is how easy it is to fall for it. Even security professionals are getting caught by this.

 

This is why I want to get the word out. So, you will know what to watch for and how to protect your account. I created a short training video to share what I know about this and show you what I am talking about. Normally, all my training videos are housed inside my membership site (you can join the free version here.) but because of how important this is, I am also posting it here.

Please share this post and training video with your Gmail friends!

P.S. If you would rather skip the video, I’ve added the links to the original article below.
