Warning - New Virus - Google

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @ mailinator.com

Don't open a Shared Google Doc from an email address of a known contact.  It will read your contact list and send the same to others.  My Norton Safe Web did not catch this.  

I'm pretty sure the Norton team keeps abreast of the latest viruses. It's important to make sure your antivirus is continually updated.

Google said it has disabled offending accounts involved in a widespread spree of phishing emails today impersonating Google Docs.

Google has now issued a statement on the attack, saying it has locked down its systems to prevent any further spread of the emails.

"We have taken action to protect users against an email impersonating Google Docs, and have disabled offending accounts," said a spokesperson in an email.

"We’ve removed the fake pages, pushed updates through Safe Browsing, and our abuse team is working to prevent this kind of spoofing from happening again. We encourage users to report phishing emails in Gmail."
