Google Doc hack<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KAUKAUNA \u2013 The emails began flooding into area businesses early this afternoon from familiar names asking recipients to open a Google Doc.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

Security experts say it is a fishing scam of large proportions, and they recommend your change your Gmail and Google account passwords, especially if your accounts have been compromised.<\/p>\n

In a fishing attack, unsuspecting recipients click on the link and log in which gives the hackers full control of their Gmail account.<\/p>\n

The emails come from an account named hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@mailinator.com.<\/p>\n

Those unfortunate enough to have clicked on the link say it looks like a legitimate Gmail login.<\/p>\n

In a Tweet Wednesday afternoon, Google said it was aware of the attack and said they were investigating.<\/p>\n

\n

We are investigating a phishing email that appears as Google Docs. We encourage you to not click through, & report as phishing within Gmail.<\/p>\n
