Google filed a lawsuit against 'Outsider Enterprise'. This China-based cybercrime network allegedly used Gemini AI. The network facilitated a massive phishing operation.
The complaint accuses the group of leveraging Gemini. It generated code for thousands of fraudulent websites. These sites impersonated Google, the U.S. Postal Service, and other trusted brands.
Scammers allegedly targeted hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. They sent millions of fraudulent text messages. These messages directed recipients to fake sites to steal personal and financial information.
Google collaborates with the FBI. It also partners with telecom providers AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. They aim to dismantle the network's infrastructure.
This lawsuit marks Google's first concerning the malicious use of its AI tools.
