Gmail users are being warned about new sophisticated AI-powered threats that can be used to control their account, which means all your digital existence. Google is sharing some worrying details about how AI is becoming their favourite weapon especially when their work becomes easy and their targets are there to dupe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These attacks may sound advanced but the mode is as simple as making a call to the individual, disguised as a Google support executive which even includes a follow-up mail so that people don\u2019t get suspicious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you click on any link attached to these mails, the hacker has opened the backdoor which allows them to further infiltrate into your system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These hackers then get you to connect with the Google support team, and that\u2019s where the scary future of AI attacks come into play. These calls are made by the AI-powered system, and it is easy to fall for these for many. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since we use Gmail as the one-stop ID for all our digital profiles and storage accounts, the people targeting these victims know that one access opens the whole pandora box in the worst way possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
