This all originated from a phone call? 0% chance I’m speaking to anyone on the phone who isn’t already in my phone book.

This is a very click-baity way to say “scammers are using AI social engineering and phishing forms”.
Pro-tip: if someone calls you saying from Google, they’re probably a scammer.

“Sam Mitrovic, a Microsoft solutions consultant, has issued a warning after almost falling victim to what is described as a “super realistic AI scam call” capable of tricking even the most experienced of users.”
Lmao, a phone call. Okay. For people that refuse to answer unknown #’s this will never work.

Wait. This dude’s in IT and honestly believes that Google is calling him up on the phone to confirm his credentials?
He should go buy some gift cards. Just in case.

The headline is very misleading and gives the impression that all those users may have been compromised or hacked already, which is definitely not the case. The article is just about a certain type of phone scam that some attackers are using.
