Phishing Scheme Uses Google Drive to Avoid Security: Report

The attackers used a tailored-made email that included the company logo, the CEO’s name and a previously disseminated business message to make it appear even more authentic, researchers say. The emails included the link to a Google Docs file as well as a fake login page, which allowed the attackers to bypass the security features built into Microsoft Exchange because the link came from an authentic and recognized business service.”]
