"Google's Battle Against Malware Spreaders Exploiting Bard Hype"

Google is suing scammers based in Vietnam who are using the hype around generative AI to trick people into downloading malware. The scammers set up social media pages and run ads encouraging users to download Google's generative AI service Bard, but instead deliver malware that steals social media credentials. Google has already submitted takedown requests and wants the scammers to be prevented from setting up future malicious domains.
