WARNING: Massive "account verification" phishing attack from Google servers is
in progress (via "googleusercontent.com"). BE CAREFUL.
Google is now a MASSIVE source of phishing attacks from Gmail to
non-Gmail addresses, and googleusercontent.com // Google Cloud Platform
is a primary source of these and associated malware payload links.
Google doesn't care.
