FBI warns Gmail and Outlook users of bank-emptying 'spoof' attack.

The FBI has warned Gmail and Outlook users about cybercriminals using spoofing and phishing techniques to steal financial details and sensitive information. Spoofing is when someone disguises an email address, phone number, or website URL to make it seem like a credible source, while phishing is a form of social engineering where attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information. Cybercriminals who conduct phishing attacks typically pretend to be legitimate companies, friends, or acquaintances. To avoid falling victim to these scams, users should be thorough when checking who the email is from, avoid opening attachments or clicking links, and report any suspicious emails to their email provider.
