#Google Calendar invitations are now being used to send out PayPal phishing scams. Also, about half of the phishing and gambling promotion emails I get now are being forwarded to me by Gmail even when they end up in the Spam folder in Gmail. Frankly, Gmail is showing signs of falling apart. Sure, bring AI into Gmail, and let the basic functions rot. Great work, Google.

Sundar Pichai: lets call our CA "Google Trust Services" and hand out certs to cybercriminals without checking the guys who hire Cloudflare's evasive proxy services to cybercriminals while doing that without checking the guys who hire the domain name "lastpassdesktop․com" from the morons @nicenic.net.

The domain name was ready for reuse, after having been bitwashed in slightly less than 4 years (https://crt.sh/?q=lastpassdesktop.com).

Fake LastPass, Bitwarden breach alerts lead to PC hijacks

An ongoing phishing campaign is targeting LastPass and Bitwarden users with fake emails claiming that the companies were hacked, urging them to download a supposedly more secure desktop version of the password manager.
Phishing site "lastpassdesktop dot com" proxied by Cloudflare with a "Google Trust Services" certificate.

@lauren conversely, google can't figure out it's own systems. Half the time I share things from google - drive, photos - to gmail, gmail puts them in the recipient's promotions or spam folder. It's coming from inside the house, and google still thinks it's spam.

@tito_swineflu In fact, Google has sometimes placed its own important announcements about service changes in Spam.

Gmail was bad enough 20 years ago, I can't imagine what it's like now. Many better options out there now.
