good thing I only pay attention to gmail when I need stuff changed |
| Ipquarx:
just so nobody freaks out about this it was fixed literally half an hour after it was reported to google we good boys |

1) loving stuffty news sites grabbing stuff from reddit and sensationalising it is getting annoying af 2) literally all this was was a website posing to be google docs(but was hosted on google-docs.cloudpro.somethingorother or something like that) so that it looked like 'Google Docs' wanted access to your emails and contacts 3) all Google did to 'fix it' was they nabbed the phisher responsible. They haven't actually done anything beyond that last I checked (not like they could anyway due to how the attack is perpetrated). |
