National Cyber Directorate Warns: Fraud Calls Impersonating Google

In depth

The National Cyber Directorate warns of automated phone calls in English impersonating Google security alerts. The calls claim that the phone number linked to the account has changed and that the suspicious activity was carried out from Tehran, Iran.

According to Arutz Sheva, the Directorate stresses that receiving the call does not indicate a breach of the account, and urges the public to hang up, avoid giving out passwords and verification codes, and check the account status on Google's official website or app. According to Behadrei Haredim, the Directorate has received many reports of such recorded calls.
