Term change refers to the commission of any crime whose purpose is profit and whose means is deception or breach of trust. The action, unfortunately, is more common than it should be.
A concept that, unfortunately, is mentioned more times than we would like. According to data published by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), 47.4% of respondents said they had suffered from or attempted fraud in the last 12 months. Of this percentage, 84.2% stated that “having received suspicious emails or mobile messages asking for personal or financial information.”
If it were believed that everything concerning fraud and deception had already been invented, nothing could be further from the truth. In this process, a new protagonist comes into play: artificial intelligence. Although this technology has become widespread due to the many positive contributions it has made, the truth is that, as in all contexts, there are those who use it for negative purposes.
To the union of the terms “fraud” and “artificial intelligence” another very popular one is added “Gmail“. A scam that, if you fall for it, allows cybercriminals to take control of a Gmail account, gaining access to all the information stored in it and to other accounts associated with that email, from social networks to banks. So they wouldn’t have a problem in impersonate someone else commit fraud and theft on your behalf.
Recently, Microsoft security product expert and founder of consulting firm CloudJoy Sam Mitrovich warned that cybercriminals have managed to obtain caller IDs associated with Gmail to make them appear legitimate and secure. contact usersusing this technology.
According to him, cybercriminals have begun to use artificial intelligence voice tools to deceive users. posing as Google technical support. A scam that Mitrovic discovered after being the target of a scam. As the expert explains, fraud begins with receiving a notification of approval Trying to recover a Gmail accountbut it comes from a country in which the user does not reside, in this case the USA. It was for this reason, he explains, that he declined the call.
According to him, in less than an hour he received call from Australia claiming to be from Google which he also ignored. A week later, the expert received another notification of approval for the restoration of his Gmail account, also from the United States. Having ruled that out, they called him again with an Australian number, but this time he answered. When calling he was told that Suspicious activity has been detected in your email account. and that someone had accessed his Gmail account and downloaded his data.
Sam Mitrovic then checked the phone number and noted that it corresponds to the official Google Australia number.he did ask the operator to send him an email indicating the supposed recorded incident. Something the technician also did with the email, which apparently enabled Google domain. After conducting his own investigation, Mitrovic noticed that an email account with a domain that did not belong to the company appeared in the “To” field. ‘googlemail@internalcasetracking.com’. He also saw that he was the only one logged in from his profile, which alerted him and he decided to ignore this supposed technician’s requests.
