Google hackers are out full force

Post by homie »

If you use Google email on a computer or server there is a terrible scam out there that steals all your login credentials and more. The hackers will have your gmail, the cloud services that come with (possible pw's you keep in the cloud o_O ) your youtube account logon because Google has long since owned youtube, any google websites you manage, your whole fricken life basically!

Here is how to avoid the hussle;
Any email you receive that ask you to open an attachment, DL a PDF to update, acknowledge, view, sign or somethings going to expire FORGET IT! don't even reply. This particular Google problem makes you think you need to logon to see the PDF and in fact you all ready are logged in or even if you are not, you will forfeit a lot of information to the losers at that simple mistake. Easy to do, all look surprisingly legit, I already seen this email in my gmail but deleted choosing not to let anyone fool me into logging, and if somethings going to expire delete, close the browser and reopen going straight to the source of the thing expiring, never go forward in the same session.

Good luck people

I have a Gmail account because I have to have one...I have all sorts of tablets with android. However, I have used Yahoo for my email for many years because they try to be on top of the email security. They were hacked many years ago so they have tried to be ahead of problems. However, scammers are out there. I have a 'spam' filter and folder, and if I don't know the sender of the email it usually ends up there. These days you have to be very aware of who is sending you what. If you don't know the sender, and you don't expect anything from your provider, don't open it. They will send you another notice if they are the real deal.

Too much technical information in this explanation but you can pick up on a couple clues to verify the fake Google logon popup. Still this kind of scam will take many down anyway.... sad

No need to homie, but good catch man. All can read how it went down.

Everyone with an account, be on guard, take action if you must. Re-Read homie's 1st post above. Watch video too (uh, a bit confusing to moi, but that's just me I bet).
