Description
A few days ago I received an email from Google claiming that someone I had never heard of had already been added as a recovery contact on my Gmail account.
The email was real.
It came directly from Google's servers, passed every authentication check, and looked completely legitimate.
But it was still a scam.
In this video, I break down exactly how the attacker used a classic injection attack to place malicious content inside a legitimate Google notification, how they used special Unicode characters to hide the real message, and how they attempted to trick me into handing over control of my Gmail account.
If someone gains control of your Gmail account, they may be able to reset passwords, access financial accounts, take over social media profiles, and potentially gain access to your cryptocurrency accounts.
I'll show you exactly what happened, how to spot this attack, and what to do if you receive one of these emails.
⚠️ Never click links in alarming emails. Always verify account activity by visiting the website directly.
