One of the<\/span> lesser-known apps in the Google Drive<\/a> online suite is Google Forms. It’s an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google Forms can also be used for malicious purposes.<\/p>\n

These forms can be created in minutes, with clean and clear formatting, official-looking images and video, and\u2014most importantly of all\u2014a genuine Google Docs URL that your web browser will see no problem with. Scammers can then use these authentic-looking forms to ask for payment details or login information.<\/p>\n

It’s a type of scam that continues to spread, with Google itself issuing a warning about the issue in February<\/a>. Students and staff at Stanford University were among those targeted with a Google Forms link<\/a> that asked for login details for the academic portal there, and the attack beat standard email malware protection.<\/p>\n
