Title: [WARNING] Google Docs Scam and Bitcoin's Safety Post by: Dudeperfect on May 05, 2017, 06:12:09 AM I am not sure if this topic belongs to this section or not but I thought this is a critical topic and everyone must be aware of it as it could take away all of the bitcoins stored by you on any exchange, online wallet etc.
This is a phishing scam in which potential victim receives mail during the attack. Many users were sent a deceptive invitation to edit a Google Doc, with a subject line stating a contact "has shared a document on Google Docs with you". By clicking on that link, victim gives permission to the hacker to access all his emails, data & contacts. Since our online accounts are associated with our mail, hackers can take away our funds (stored on various exchanges / online wallets) by social engineering. Further information, * Google Docs users hit by phishing scam - BBC News (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-39798022). * Don't Click on That Random Google Doc Link - The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/did-someone-just-share-a-random-google-doc-with-you/525279/). * Why the Google Docs scam was a different kind of phishing - CNET (https://www.cnet.com/how-to/why-the-google-docs-scam-was-a-different-kind-of-phishing/). If you have already clicked on any such link then change your credentials as soon as possible and remove access given to unidentified third party apps of your account.
