All doesn't seem to be going well for Google. Along with the Gmail outage it has been reported that a phishing attack spread through chat sessions, including Google Chat, and directed victims to a Web site called "ViddyHo." A link to a video is sent to users in IM sessions and the link directs them to a ViddyHo login page that in turn instructs them to enter their Google account information. This info is then used to break into the victim's account and send the link to other users in the address book. Google reportedly has blocked the addresses being used to send messages, and that several browsers - including Firefox, Safari and Chrome - were displaying a warning when users attempt to visit the ViddyHo Web site. Viddyho.com has also been identified as a phishing site in Google's search results. Google is asking users who've entered information into 'ViddyHo', to change their security question and account password. Read more here. |
