Google has initiated legal action against a multinational cybercriminal group, identified as primarily based in China. This group is alleged to be involved in a large-scale text message phishing operation, commonly known as “smishing.” The operation involves sending deceptive text messages to a wide range of individuals, attempting to trick them into providing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details. Google is seeking compensation for damages resulting from the fraudulent activity and is exploring potential legal remedies. The group’s activities have been documented as a significant threat to online security and consumer protection.
