OAuth Consent Phishing Scam

TL;DR:
When you choose to login to a website with your Google or Facebook account, you are normally safe. However, if you receive an email from an unknown sender that wants you to login with these methods, you may be at risk of having your credentials stolen. Always check that the website you are logging into is VERIFIED and it only asks for permission to your name, email and profile photo. [otherwise, it could be a scam]

Your everyday use of "Sign in with Google" on major public websites (like Spotify, Pinterest, or Canva) is generally safe. The risk arises when you encounter an unfamiliar app or click a login link sent via an unexpected email or message.

How to Protect Yourself

Protecting yourself requires shifting your mindset from protecting your password to protecting your permissions.

1. Audit Your Current Connections Right Now
Take a few minutes to clean out the apps that already have access to your account.
• Go to your Google Account Settings.
• Navigate to Security and look for Your connections to third-party apps and services.
• Review the list. If you see an app you no longer use, or one you don't recognize, click it and select Remove Access.

2. Scrutinize the Consent Screen Before Clicking
Whenever you use Google to log into a new site, a consent screen pops up detailing exactly what the app wants. Treat this like a legal contract.

• Check the Publisher Name: Google displays the developer's name. If it says "Unverified," or if the name doesn't match the website you think you are on, cancel immediately.
• Look at the Scope (Permissions): A basic login should only ask for your name, email address, and profile picture. If a random app requests permission to "Read, send, and delete emails," "Manage your Google Drive files," or "View your calendar," that is a massive red flag.

3. Watch for "Unverified App" Warnings

If Google's automated systems haven't thoroughly vetted an app requesting sensitive data, you will see a stark warning screen that says "This app isn't verified." Attackers will often instruct you to click "Advanced" and bypass this warning to proceed. Never bypass this screen unless you are 100% certain of the developer's identity.

STOP MISDELIVERIES AND PORCH PIRATES: HOW TO FIX YOUR DELIVERY ISSUES FOR GOOD

Over and over, I see people trying to locate misdelivered items they purchased online. I also see where porch pirates have hit. 2 ways to solve this:

1. If your street name is similar to others - Ex: Bayer Street, Bayer Cove, Bayer East...be sure and put a note on your online order that states this and BOLD your address. To see if this could be a problem, look up your street name on Google Maps - try Street, Avenue, Lane, Cove, etc. The driver often mistakes one for the other.

2. To ensure your package is not stolen off your porch if you're on a busy street, get a lock box for your package from Amazon or hardware store. The delivery person can lock this box after they deliver it.
