AI Scam Surge Prompts Google to File Lawsuit

Phishing texts that mimic a bank alert or a package delivery notice usually point to a fake website built to capture passwords and card numbers. Google says one criminal network used artificial intelligence to build those websites at a scale no human team could match. Google has filed a civil lawsuit against that network, a China-based operation it calls Outsider Enterprise, accusing it of using Gemini and other AI models to mass-produce phishing sites.
