A new phishing scheme is being used to steal Google Account credentials

Security experts at Bitdefender have discovered a news phishing scheme adopted by hackers to steal Google Account passwords. The new phishing attack is hard to catch with traditional heuristic detection, it mainly affects Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox internet browsers. The hackers send an email that pretends to be from Google, it warns victim that his account will be locked in the next 24 hours because the associated InBox has reached the maximum capability. To avoid that the user is invited to go to the INSTANT INCREASE link, the link redirects victims to a bogus Google web log-page. Using this artifice hackers can steal Google account credentials within the browser.”]
