Here Are The Funniest Tweets About The Google Docs Scam

Today, a massive, fake Google Docs phishing scheme spread across the internet. Giphy The attack worked by sending people emails that imitated how Google emails look when people share real Google Documents with each other.

If you've already clicked on a spam link, go to your Google account permissions and revoke access for "Google Docs." The real Google Docs doesn't appear individually in that permissions list since it's part of Google Drive, so you won't be interfering with any of your real work. After the initial panic subsided, people came up with some jokes.
