Recent reports highlight a surge in malware targeting Google Calendar and associated tools like Docs and Slides. Cybercriminals are using phishing tactics by sending fake calendar invites that include infected links, which can lead to the theft of sensitive information such as login credentials and browser data. Check Point has identified around 300 brands affected by these scams, with thousands of phishing emails detected. Experts recommend downloading software only from legitimate sources and maintaining strong security practices, including multi-factor authentication and awareness of phishing signals.
Getting hacked is never planned, but it seems that malware is infiltrating people's calendars.
New reports are warning Google users that malicious actors are attempting to infect Google Calendars, Slides and Docs with 'info-stealing' software.
A standard Google Calendar invite comes with links to both the event itself and the list of guests - the event is also included as an .ics file attachment.
Be cautious if anyone sends you a link to download software from any unknown or unexpected sources.
