    Google Docs impersonation phishing attack

    Attackers distributed emails that appeared to be document-sharing invitations from known contacts. A fraudulent application using the name Google Docs requested account permissions and could access Gmail data and contacts. Google disabled the malicious accounts, removed associated pages, updated Safe Browsing protections, and investigated methods to prevent similar impersonation.
