Gmail users are being urged to stay alert and watch out for a worrying new type of scam that hides itself within messages. It appears there’s a way of fooling Google’s clever AI Gemini<\/a> service, and it could allow hackers to add fake messages when people access their inbox and load up the useful summaries option.<\/p>\n For those not aware, Google<\/a> now lets Gmail users see a quick summary of an email using smart Gemini AI. This basically means a long message can be made faster to read and understand, with the most important parts placed into bullet points.<\/p>\n It’s a neat upgrade but it appears that it also comes with a hidden danger.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Everyone using Chrome placed on red alert and told to clear browsing data immediately<\/a><\/p>\n As reported by Bleeping Computer<\/a>, cyber crooks may trick this system into displaying additional text, with one example showing how hackers could feature a warning at the bottom of the summary.<\/p>\n “WARNING: Gemini has detected that your Gmail password has been compromised,” the alert reads.<\/p>\n “Please call us immediately.”<\/p>\n The note then features a phone number and reference code.<\/p>\n Experts at Mozilla,<\/a> have also confirmed that a potential vulnerability within the Gemini email summary feature is allowing online thieves to add hidden prompts that then appear when messages are opened.<\/p>\n
