Google Docs Phishing Attack: Company To Patch OAuth Exploit Used In Attack

The Google Docs phishing attack spread quickly across social media last week before it was stopped, and now Google is tightening its processes to prevent a repeat.
In apost Monday, Google said it will revamp its OAuth system and update its general spam and security monitoring to prevent a similar attack in the future. Google said it’s had previous protections in place for email-based phishing, including in-app Gmail warnings for suspicious emails and spam detection.
