Google sues Chinese network using Gemini for scams
Ars Technica·
Google has filed a lawsuit against a Chinese cybercrime group known as Outsider Enterprise, accusing them of using its Gemini AI to automate large-scale phishing scams. The group allegedly operated through Telegram, offering services to create fraudulent websites and text campaigns that mimicked legitimate entities like Google and government agencies. Google reports that these scams led to millions of text messages being sent and thousands of fake websites being created, with the aim of stealing personal and banking information. This marks Google's first direct legal action against a group explicitly using Gemini for illicit purposes, highlighting the dual-use nature of AI technology.
