A phishing attack involving g.co, Google’s URL shortener

Google’s official URL shortcut, g.co, is under attack as people have been tricked into giving up their Google account information. The phishing attempt involved a caller posing as a Google Workspace employee, claiming that the account was compromised and guiding the target to reset the account. The scam was elaborate, including creating a fake LinkedIn profile and sending a misleading two-factor code. Interestingly, the scammer exploited a bug in Google Workspace allowing them to create a fake subdomain. This incident highlights the importance of staying vigilant and verifying the legitimacy of unexpected communications. Stay safe online!
