Be careful out there guys, particularly for the non IT system admin boys and girls.

Google says it has stopped a phishing email that reached about a million of its users.

The scam claimed to come from Google Docs - a service that allows people to share and edit documents online.

Users who clicked a link and followed instructions, risked giving the hackers access to their email accounts.

This was the most sophisticated phishing scheme I've ever seen.  I nearly fell for it because I received it about 10 minutes after it was in the wild from a dealer who I had just recently purchased a suppressor from but I thought it was a little odd so I contacted him through other means and asked if he meant to send that to me.  He explained what happened then I started seeing posts from Ars, Gizmodo, Wired, etc. about it.
