As reported by Scamicide, there is a new phishing scam riding on the back of Google Docs attachments. A phishing email is sent to unsuspecting victims that urges you to click on a Google Docs link. Clicking on the link will turn over your email account to the scammer which not only will give the hacker access to all of your emails, but also your contact list which will enable the hacker to contact your friends with emails that appear to come from you and will be used to lure your trusting friends into clicking on links that can download keystroke logging malware that can lead to identity theft or ransomware.
