Scammers Are Using Google Drive to Steal Your Logins
BigA, thanks for posting this (both here and at 800notes)!
Wasn't able to click on the link at 800notes (was on my smartphone then) and looks like it was truncated here … but did c & p the article title into Google Search and was able to see the screenshots there. Will post them in order below

Fortunately I don't use Google Drive or even have a gmail account… but this provides a good heads up just in case I might in the future.

Sounds like smart thinking at work ;)
I know if I were to use Google Voice (or whatever it's called) or wanted to save my search history I'd have to sign up for gmail account. Nah, I'll pass!
If I were to use something like gmail it would probably be yahoo as well.

Yea, I originally used a basic password in in the past too. But even before I took a bunch of IT courses and the like I started using the longer alphanumeric + symbol passwords on all the accounts (email and otherwise) I have. Had no attempts to hack into or hijack any of them since.
Like your father's saying btw ;) ... both true and works in other ways as well.
