Google Drive users warned about spam attacks
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google Drive users are being cautioned about a surge in spam attacks, where users receive requests to approve suspicious files. The Google Drive team has acknowledged this issue and provided guidelines to deal with such spam attacks while also working on improving detection systems to prevent spam notifications. If a file is suspected to be spam, it is advised to follow the instructions provided by Google Drive on marking or unmarking spam.
"Google Drive is aware of a recent wave of Spam attacks wherein the user receives a request to approve a suspicious file,” Google said in a post. “With all files that you suspect may be Spam, please follow the instructions outlined in Mark or unmark spam in Drive.Users can open the file without risk and then report it as abuse and block the user. Users should not click on any links in the document or approve it.For the situations where the notification doesn't open the file, this means Google has blocked the spam document, but not until after the notification was sent. We are working on improvements to detection to prevent the notifications from being sent."
Even if users open the file, they can still report it as abuse and block the user associated with it. But it is essential to avoid approving or interacting with the suspicious content.
Aiming to keep users informed and protected against potential security threats, this warning comes directly from the Google Drive team. Users are therefore asked to stay vigilant and cautious while using Google Drive to ensure the safety of their data and accounts.
