The first thing to note is that this is a valid, signed email - it really was sent from [email protected]. It passes the DKIM signature check, and GMail displays it without any warnings - it even puts it in the same conversation as other, legitimate security alerts.
Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:
This is your reminder DNC Democrats have already flooded America with illegal migrants and moved them to swing states where they need their votes
Key States and Swing States already have huge amounts of voter registrations WITHOUT ID
These massive numbers only represent 3 months of data “They're using the last four digits of a social security number, not just their social security, and it could be anybody's social security number. We have no idea:
- Texas, 1.25 million registrations going through the Social Security Administration's database in just the past three months
- Arizona, swing state, 500,000+
- Pennsylvania, 255,000+
It's kind of crazy what's happening in these states. All someone needs is the last four digits of a Social Security number to register.”
BUSTED: The Kamala Harris campaign admits it conducted a massive online misinformation scheme with the help of Google. Google claims a glitch in its system allowed the Harris campaign to run counterfeit headlines that appeared to originate from the AP and Reuters.
Secret Service broke into a Massachusetts hair salon during a Kamala event. They covered the cameras with duct tape and broke inside to use the bathroom, let other attendees use the bathroom, and took candies off the desk.
They reportedly left the store unlocked and left the tape on for the rest of the day.
