As Android Authority reports, a developer named Nick Johnson was recently targeted by a phishing email with the subject line "Security alert." The message was sent from no-reply[at]accounts.google.com and signed by accounts.google.com, making it seem like a legitimate email directly from Google. However, the message led to a fake Google support page hosted at sites.google.com, which directed visitors to "upload additional documents" or "view case." This ultimately led to a fake sign-in page that asked for account credentials, where scammers would then collect the target's Google login credentials.
This isn't the first phishing scheme to come from a seemingly legitimate email address, making it trickier for users to spot as a fake. Earlier this year, scammers exploited PayPal settings to send fraudulent purchase notifications from service[at]paypal.com.
How to identify and avoid phishing email scams
If you get an email like this from a company you know and whose services you use and the message appears legit, don't click any links or download any attachments. Go directly to the company's website by typing in the URL, and check official social media accounts or customer service channels for any alerts related to the message you received—especially if the email has to do with account security or recovery or your personal information.
