Google has introduced new AI tools designed to enhance security for Chrome users, specifically targeting phishing and scam threats. These tools aim to proactively identify and block malicious sites, thereby improving the overall safety of browsing experiences for users worldwide.

Google is leveraging advancements in AI to combat online scams across its platforms, including Search, Chrome, and Android. By enhancing their detection systems and implementing on-device models like Gemini Nano, they aim to significantly reduce scams such as phishing, tech support fraud, and deceptive notifications while adapting to new threats in real-time.

Google Gemini for Workspace can be exploited through prompt-injection attacks that generate misleading email summaries, potentially leading users to phishing sites without attachments or direct links. Researcher Marco Figueroa revealed this vulnerability, highlighting how hidden instructions in emails can manipulate Gemini's output, prompting users to trust false security alerts. Google is aware of the issue and is implementing defenses against such attacks.
