Google’s Ad Blunder: How to Serve Phish and Chips in the Digital Age!
The human factor might be the weakest link in cybersecurity, but tech giants like Google could do more to help. Their ad service still redirects to phishing sites even a week later. A little more vigilance, folks! Google’s VirusTotal could spot these malicious links faster than a caffeinated squirrel.
Hot Take:
When it comes to phishing, it seems like even tech giants like Google are getting caught with their ads down. Seriously, Google, if you’re going to own VirusTotal, maybe try not to give hackers a double click pass to phishing paradise!
Key Points:
- The tech industry, particularly ad services like Google’s, needs to step up its game in combating phishing scams.
- Phishing emails are still a major threat, especially to non-tech-savvy individuals.
