Danger! So Hacker trickers with AI support calls at Gmail

Deutschland - The Google service Gmail, which has over 2.5 billion users, is again the goal of refined hacker attacks, as "Forbes" reports. According to Sam Mitrovic, a Microsoft solution consultant, a new phishing attack is particularly alarming, which is based on artificial intelligence. Here, the attackers try to lure users into the trap by deceptively real calls from the alleged Google support.

Mitrovic himself was just able to escape: he received a notification of an attempted approval to restore a Gmail account. When he ignored them, a call followed 40 minutes later, in which the caller asked about his whereabouts. It was only when he noticed that the voice sounded unusually perfect that he realized that it was an AI. Even experts could mislead such attacks.
