Google filed a lawsuit against the China-based cybercrime network Outsider Enterprise. The complaint alleges the group used Gemini AI to conduct large-scale phishing scams.
The operation targeted hundreds of thousands of Americans to steal personal and financial information. The network allegedly sent millions of fraudulent text messages featuring fake package-tracking alerts.
Google claims the group used the Gemini chatbot to write custom code for malicious websites. The group coordinated its activities through the messaging app Telegram. The lawsuit aims to dismantle the group's infrastructure as tech companies combat rising AI-assisted fraud.
