Another way scammers are trying to look legitimate while evading detection is through Google Forms that request sensitive data.
Google Forms scams may have several aims, ranging from stealing your login credentials or banking details to redirecting you to a fraudulent site that installs malware on your device.
Scammers sent forms out around important dates on the academic calendar, such as financial aid deadlines, when recipients have lots of administrative tasks to complete and are less likely to notice potential red flags.
The attack begins with Stanford-branded Google Forms hosted on real google.com domains with valid SSL certificates. The forms appear to come from real Google email addresses and may include familiar names in the notifications (such as "[Name] shared a document"). Not only do these forms look legitimate, but they are able to get past email malware detection.
How to avoid phishing attacks using Google Forms
Not all Google Forms phishing campaigns will be as well-designed as those targeting higher ed, so you should also look for misspellings, punctuation errors, and odd salutations. One of the examples identified by ESET begins with "Hello, Dear!"
If you believe you have already submitted sensitive information via Google Forms, change your login credentials, freeze your credit cards, and stay on top of your accounts and credit report to identify any fraudulent activity. You should also be on the lookout for any signs of malware on your computer and remove it as quickly as possible (whether you're on Mac or PC).
