I'm surprised that with Google's image detection technology that Gmail doesn't do image recognition on images with links where the image look like popular document attachment, and send them to spam. Or perhaps they do but the phishers are able to evade it.
- jhardcastle 10y agoThey aren't using popular attachments. They are using customized attachments from the actual compromised sender. I commented elsewhere in the thread, but once they gain your credentials, they will go into your account to get one of your attachments, and then email a screenshot of that to your contacts, some of whom may have already seen that attachment.
- pcl 10y agoSure, but the chrome around the image is still "trusted attachment" chrome. I get it that the browser ppl will say only their chrome is trusted, but when someone is using your app, your app's internal ui affordances receive that same level of trust in your users' minds.
