Do you use Gmail? Watch out for this.
"Within Gmail, any Gmail tenant can use it to spoof any other Gmail tenant," the company explains in the post."That means that a hacker can use the service to easily spoof legitimate brands and send out phishing and malware campaigns."
The agency reports that while this isn't the first time scammers have used the tactic, there has been a significant uptick recently. They note that it detected roughly 30,000 emails sent during a two-week period last month alone, with some spoofs pretending to be from companies such as cash transfer app Venmo and workflow organizer Trello.PR Image Factory / Shutterstock
Because of the new threat, Avanan warns that Gmail users should always double-check the sender's address in an email they receive, especially if it's unexpected or requests an urgent response or action. It's also best to hover over any link to see where it could be sending you before clicking it. For now, Google also says it's aware of the issue and is working to prevent future scams."We have built-in protections to stop this type of attack," a Google spokesperson told cybersecurity and technology blog Bleeping Computer."This research speaks to why we recommend users across the ecosystem use the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance protocol. Doing so will defend against this attack method, which is a well-known industry issue.
