Description
Most people know to avoid fake login pages.
But what happens when the email is actually from Google? 🤔
In this video, I walk through a sophisticated phishing attack that uses a legitimate Google email, a legitimate Google login page, and a legitimate security certificate to lower your defenses and guide victims toward a scammer-controlled website.
I'll show you exactly how the attack works, why it is so convincing, and most importantly how to protect yourself if you receive one of these messages.
The most important question isn't:
"Does this look legitimate?"
The better question is:
"Did I initiate this process?"
If the answer is no, stop and verify independently.
