Google has filed a lawsuit against a cybercrime organization known as Outsider Enterprise, alleging that the group used the company’s Gemini artificial intelligence platform to help conduct a large-scale online fraud operation targeting consumers.
According to the lawsuit, the network allegedly created thousands of fraudulent websites and distributed millions of scam messages designed to impersonate trusted organizations, including Google, YouTube, the United States Postal Service, and E-ZPass.
The company alleges that during a brief period, the operation generated approximately 9,000 fake websites, more than one million fraudulent web addresses, and millions of text messages sent primarily to Android users.
Google estimates that hundreds of thousands of individuals may have been affected by the scheme.
The company also noted that its security systems now block billions of suspected scam messages each month using artificial intelligence and other detection technologies.
The lawsuit reflects growing concern throughout the technology industry about the potential misuse of advanced AI tools by criminal organizations.
Google has called for stronger anti-fraud legislation and enhanced cooperation between governments, technology companies, and telecommunications providers to address increasingly sophisticated scams that can be amplified through artificial intelligence technologies.
