Google Sues Chinese AI Scam Network Stealing Billions

Google has filed a lawsuit against an alleged Chinese cybercrime network called Outsider Enterprise, which used AI to deploy 9,000 fake websites, one million fraudulent domains, and 2.5 million scam texts targeting Android users. The operation financially harmed hundreds of thousands of victims, with estimated losses in the millions. The group's phishing software, priced at $88 per week, allowed low-skill criminals to clone legitimate websites and steal passwords and credit card data in real time. The FBI has seized several domains linked to the operation, which is estimated to have stolen 3.87 million credit cards and caused $1.9 billion in losses since July 2023.
