Casa Co-Founder Warns of Google Phishing Email Abuse Incident

Jameson Lopp, co-founder and Chief Security Officer of the self-custody Bitcoin service Casa, posted on X about a new type of Google phishing tactic where attackers abuse Google’s own infrastructure to send emails. Clicking on the goo.gl link in the email directs users to a phishing login page. The post was made on October 29 and included screenshots of the related emails. Users have reported that they have repeatedly reported similar incidents to Google without receiving a response, and some users indicated that this tactic is used in conjunction with calls that appear to be from Google and caller ID.
