Google: No Gmail Vulnerability, Just Phishing

---

Recently, there were concerns that a Gmail exploit may allow attackers to forward e-mail.

A proof of concept was posted online but Google has now denied there’s any evidence of a Gmail vulnerability.

Google security engineer Chris Evans explained in a blog post that Google “mounted an immediate investigation” after the recent speculation but “results indicate no evidence of a Gmail vulnerability”. With help from Gmail users Google has determined that the cause was a phishing scheme, a common method used by malicious actors to trick people into sharing their sensitive information.
