A sophisticated phishing attack leveraged Google's infrastructure to send seemingly legitimate emails from [email protected], bypassing security checks. The emails, mimicking legal subpoenas, directed recipients to fraudulent Google Sites pages designed to steal credentials. The attack exploited a DKIM replay and a legacy Google Sites feature allowing arbitrary scripts. Google has since implemented fixes, urging users to enable two-factor authentication and passkeys for enhanced protection against such attacks. This follows similar recent attacks using Proofpoint vulnerabilities and SVG attachments.
