Another Gmail AI hack attack has been confirmed.
Update, Feb. 1, 2025: This story, originally published Jan. 30, has been updated with further mitigation advice for spotting deepfake AI-powered threats, a statement from Google about the sophisticated Gmail attack, and a comment from a content control security expert.
Hackers hiding in plain sight, avatars being used in novel attacks, and even perpetual 2FA-bypass threats against Google users have been reported. What a time to be alive if you are a criminal hacker, although calling this latest scary hacker alive is a stretch: be warned, this malicious AI wants your Gmail credentials.
