Google to Gmail users: Coronavirus phishing is targeting you. This is how we hit back ZDNet

Google is adapting its machine-learning models for Gmail security to battle scammers, cybercriminals, and state-sponsored hackers exploiting fear over the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in phishing email attacks. The company says it blocked 18 million COVID-19 themed phishing emails last week. The blocked COVID-19 phishing emails targeting Gmail users would represent about 2.5% of the 100 million phishing emails Google said in 2019 it blocks daily. Google is also blocking 240 million COVID-related daily spam messages each day. From cancelled conferences to disrupted supply chains, not a corner of the global economy is immune to the spread of COVID-19.
