Google has filed a lawsuit against a Chinese cybercrime network called Outsider Enterprise, accusing it of using Google's AI system, Gemini, to create hundreds of fake websites and send millions of scam messages to Americans. The group mimicked trusted companies and government services to defraud people, affecting hundreds of thousands mostly in the US.
