# Schneier on Security

**[Schneier on Security](https://daily.dev/sources/schneier)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Google has filed a lawsuit against a Chinese cybercrime group called Outsider Enterprise, which used Google's Gemini AI to automate phishing-as-a-service operations. The group offered nearly 300 scam templates via Telegram, helping less technical criminals create fake websites impersonating Google, YouTube, and government agencies like E-ZPass. Google collaborated with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to block malicious texts, and its on-device AI scam detection in Google Messages reportedly stops 10 billion scam texts monthly. Bruce Schneier expresses cautious support for the legal action while doubting its practical impact.
