Sophisticated Phishing Attack Targets Gmail Users: What To Know A new phishing scam is fooling even tech-savvy Gmail users by disguising itself as a legitimate security alert from Google — with no warning signs from Gmail itself. The scam came to light after developer Nick Johnson shared a warning on social media about a highly convincing phishing email that landed in his inbox.  The message appeared to come from [email protected], Google’s real notification address, and passed standard authentication checks, including the DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) signature.  Gmail offered no alerts, and the message was grouped with actual…
