A sophisticated phishing attack is racing across the internet, and may already have hit your inbox.*
The definitely **t-legit email disguises itself as an official message from Google alerting you that someone wants to share a Google Doc with you. **tifications of this sort are common and often wouldn't raise an eyebrow.*
However, clicking through this particular link and taking the requested steps will open up your inbox — and potentially everyone on your contact list — to an as-of-yet unk**wn attacker.*
I got a Google Doc invite from a BuzzFeed email address, clicked on it, and it spammed everyone I’ve ever emailed
