FBI Warns Gmail And Outlook Users—Do Not Click On These Emails
Forbes
Just days after the FBI warned your financial accounts are now at risk from hackers, with $262 million already stolen this year, there’s a new alert from the bureau. You may escape an account takeover, but this new threat is more likely to get you.
This is already a record holiday shopping season. Not just for retailers and shoppers, but also for criminals. “As you shop this holiday season,” the FBI warns, “beware of deals that seem too good to be true! Scammers are out in full force.”
Advice includes to avoid buying from any website that you can’t absolutely verify is legitimate. The surge in AI-fueled attacks makes fake sites impossible to tell apart from the real ones. You need to access websites directly and check the URL.
