[ Google Issues ] Google is flooding the Internet with phishes

[Lauren Weinstein]

Significantly more than half of the phishing attempts I see now come
from Google email servers (as proven by the top Received: header
line), typically Gmail. An even larger percentage of the payloads
(e.g. "click this link") for these -- closer to 75% these days --
point to GCP (Google Cloud Platform) instances (e.g. via
googleapis.com). Google puts a lot of effort into detecting incoming
spam and phishes (with varying success) but has become a veritable
firehouse of such garbage sent to non-Gmail addresses.-L
