Phishers Leveraging Google Translate to Target Google and Facebook Users
The State of Security
Phishers are leveraging Google Translate in their attempts to steal the login credentials for users’ Google and Facebook accounts.
Larry Cashdollar, a member of Akamai’s Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT), received an email in early 2019 informing him that someone had accessed his Google account from a new Windows device. On his phone, the email looked relatively convincing in its condensed state. But examining the email on his laptop confirmed his suspicions: the email was fake and had originated from the suspicious sending address “facebook_secur@hotmail[dot]com.”
