Phishing attacks like this one aim to get users to share their personal information with hackers, which they can use to steal victims' identity or money.

Google said it has shut down the mechanism that allowed this method of attack to work.

Phishing messages typically use a generic greeting, inform you there is an urgent issue that cannot be resolved without your action, and invite you to click on a link.
