Phishes from Google are going through the roof
Google Calendar invitations are now being used to send out PayPal
phishing scams. Also, about half of the phishing and gambling
promotion emails I get now are being forwarded to me by Gmail even
when they end up in the Spam folder in Gmail. Frankly, Gmail is
showing signs of falling apart. Sure, bring AI into Gmail, and let the
basic functions rot. Great work, Google.
