/ 1 min read

🛡️✨ Gmail enhances security measures to combat holiday scams. As holiday scams surge, Gmail has implemented advanced AI technologies to protect its 2.5 billion users, blocking over 99.9% of spam, phishing, and malware. New AI models have led to a 35% reduction in reported scams compared to last year, with one model blocking 20% more spam and reviewing user-reported spam at an unprecedented rate. Common scams this season include fake invoices, celebrity impersonations, and extortion threats. Users are advised to remain vigilant by verifying emails, taking time to assess urgency, and reporting suspicious messages to enhance overall security. Gmail’s ongoing efforts aim to adapt to evolving threats during this peak season for scams.
