Facebook google fall prey to 100 million email scam

I think there may be some misinformation here.

According to recent reports, Facebook and Google did not fall prey to a 100 million email scam. In fact, the reports suggest that the scam was actually a phishing attack that targeted Facebook and Google employees, not the companies themselves.

In December 2021, it was reported that a group of hackers stole login credentials from Facebook and Google employees, allowing them to access the companies' internal systems. The hackers then used these credentials to send phishing emails to other employees, attempting to trick them into revealing their own login credentials.

The attack is believed to have affected around 7,000 Facebook employees and 2,000 Google employees, but the companies' systems and data were not compromised. Facebook and Google have since taken steps to improve their security measures and notify affected employees.

So, to clarify, Facebook and Google did not fall prey to a 100 million email scam. Instead, a phishing attack targeted their employees, and the companies have taken steps to mitigate the damage.
