Tell HN: PSA, don't grant access to “Google Docs”

4 pointsby bevacquaabout 8 years ago
There&#x27;s a phishing scam going around that sends emails via people you know sharing a Google Doc with you. Don&#x27;t OAuth into it. It asks permissions for sending&#x2F;deleting&#x2F;managing your Gmail emails. Then it sends the same email to all of your contacts. If you did fall for it, go to account permissions[1] and revoke access to &quot;Google Docs&quot;.<p>[1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;myaccount.google.com&#x2F;permissions

Thanks for this. There seems to be an existing discussion if people would like to continue there: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14258918" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14258918</a>
