Big Alert for Gmail users: A Cyber attack is happening through AI, a small mistake and your account will start running..
An alert has been issued for Gmail users. Cyber attacks using AI are increasing rapidly. These attacks are being done in such a smart way that any common user can be easily fooled. Google itself has said that AI has now become the new weapon of hackers, with which they can control people's accounts and take over their entire digital life.
The most dangerous thing is that it is not difficult to carry out these attacks. Hackers call by introducing themselves as Google support executives and then also send a follow-up email so that the user does not get suspicious. Such emails often come with messages like 'Your account has been compromised'. When a user clicks on that link in panic, the hacker opens the backdoor of the system and easily accesses personal details.
An AI-powered voice system is used in these calls, which makes it even easier to get cheated. This method is similar to the AI voice phishing seen on WhatsApp, where people are duped out of money or personal data.
The reason for targeting Gmail is clear: it is connected to the digital accounts and data of more than 2 billion users around the world. Once Gmail is hacked, access to all other accounts is gained.
Google has given some important advice for security:
Do not click on any links or attachments in suspicious emails.
Change passwords regularly.
Use Authenticator Apps to keep accounts safe.
Use Passkeys where possible.
Cybersecurity experts say that this is just the beginning. AI attacks have already come on big platforms like Gmail, and in the coming time other platforms will also be targeted.
