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. Google is working with the FBI and major wireless providers to shut down the network and prevent a surge in AI-powered online fraud, which is growing rapidly and caused nearly $21 billion in losses last year. The case highlights the increasing threat of AI-enhanced scams and the need for coordinated law enforcement action.
