There was no AI hack, the story is about a spear phishing attempt on one person using an AI voice.
> This time, Mitrovic didn’t miss the call and instead picked up: an American voice, claiming to be from Google support, confirmed that there was suspicious activity on the Gmail account.
Has Google ever called any of their 2.5 Billion users to warn them of suspicious activity?
This is a phishing attempt that could be used against a customer of any online or realworld service. Google is susceptible because its popularity not because of a security defect in Gmail.

I think they should change '2.5B Users' by '2500000000 Users' in the title to get more clicks.
Clickbait title?
