Hacker spoofing bypasses 2FA security in Gmail, targets secure email services

[silversurfer]

Google, Yahoo, and ProtonMail accounts are being targeted in a new wave of phishing attacks.

A new wave of attacks is targeting Google and Yahoo accounts in order to bypass two-factor authentication as well as compromise users of secure email services, researchers have warned.

On Wednesday, a new report published by non-profit Amnesty International gave us a glimpse into the inner workings of recent phishing campaigns which are using a variety of techniques to infiltrate user accounts across the Middle East and North Africa.

Within the report, the researchers say that several campaigns are underway, likely conducted by the same threat group in order to target Human Rights Defenders (HRDs).
