Scammers are leveraging a legitimate Google Drive collaboration feature to trick users into clicking on malicious links.
According to reports,, the recent attack stems from Google Drive's legitimate collaboration feature, which allows users to create push notifications or emails that invite people to share a Google doc.
Attackers are abusing this feature to send mobile users Google Drive notifications that invite them to collaborate on documents, which then contain malicious links.
The Google Drive notifications come with various lures.
A Google spokesperson told WIRED that the company is working on new security measures for detecting Google Drive spam.
