"Red Alert Phrases in Gmail Signal Manipulation: Warning to Billions of Users"
Google's Gmail has built-in safety precautions to warn users about suspicious emails. Two important phrases to watch out for are "Message flagged as spam" and "Message temporarily rejected," which can indicate that you've been manipulated to spread malware by a cybercriminal. Cybercriminals often encourage spreading false information to your contacts by convincing victims they can win a prize by spreading a data-stealing survey or disguised malware attachment. To avoid phishing scams, users should be thorough when checking the sender's email address, avoid opening attachments or clicking suspicious links, and contact the brand directly if unsure about an email.
