115,000 Phishing Emails Leveraged Google Classroom

⚠ Check Point uncovered a global phishing campaign that delivered 115,000 fake invitations via Google Classroom to about 13,500 organizations worldwide within a single week. Attackers used seemingly legitimate classroom invites to present unrelated commercial offers and instructed recipients to continue contact via WhatsApp, shifting conversations off monitored email channels. Because many filters treat messages from Google services as trustworthy, these messages often bypass conventional protections. Experts advise staff training, adoption of AI-driven detection that evaluates context and intent, and extending phishing defenses beyond email to collaboration and messaging platforms.
