Just had a really sophisticated phishing call pretending to be @Google.

They triggered a real login alert first so everything looked legit.

Strong social engineering.

@esthercrawford Community Notes require broad agreement.

Not sure I consider field hockey an actual sport, but this might have changed my mind. #StylePoints
