Market Chatter: Google Sues Group Using AI for Spam Messages

MT Newswires Live06-12 22:04

Alphabet's (GOOGL, GOOG) Google has filed a lawsuit against a suspected Chinese cybercrime group for allegedly using artificial intelligence to send over 2 million text messages that appear to be from the company and other trusted online brands, Bloomberg reported Friday.

The messages contained urgent warnings about supposedly compromised accounts or alerts regarding package tracking, and contained links to websites that asked for confidential information, according to the report.

Google's complaint claimed that scammers encouraged one another to use the Gemini chatbot to write custom code necessary to create their malicious websites, Bloomberg said.

Google did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
