Dečki i cure (kolko znam ima bar jedna), heads up!

Here we go again. Google has confirmed another attack on Gmail users that combines inherent vulnerabilities in the platform with devious social engineering. The net result is a flurry of headlines and viral social media posts followed by an urgent platform update. Google’s security warning is clear. Users should stop using their passwords.
This latest attack has been bubbling on X and in a number of crypto outlets given the victim was an Ethereum developer. Nick Johnson says he was “targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack,” one which “exploits a vulnerability in Google’s infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we’re likely to see it a lot more.”
The attack started with an email from a legitimate Google address warning Johnson that it has been served with a subpoena for his Google account. “This is a valid, signed email,” Johnson says, “sent from no-reply@google.com. It passes the DKIM signature check, and Gmail displays it without any warnings - it even puts it in the same conversation as other, legitimate security alerts.”
