GOOGLE has told Gmail users to conduct an important "spot check" to avoid falling victim to a sophisticated new wave of scams.
Gmail users were last week given a red alert over a "devastating" new scam that uses AI to create convincing voice or video messages to defraud victims.
Google also told people to take a slow and measured approach to emails that use terms like “urgent, immediate, deactivate, unauthorised, etc”.
Scams, like the AI voice memo attack, can also be avoided if people are more sceptical of emails designed to create a sense of urgency.
Just days ago, cybersecurity researchers at SlashNet exposed a new phishing attack that tricks Gmail users with fake login pages.
