The hackers are phishing on gmail accounts to get the users login credentials,
they are using something called data URL.
When you login into your gmail account and if you click on a phishing
mail that look like a genuine and convincing to you to click on, then you will
be redirected to another gmail login page which looks exactly as the legitimate
gmail login page, usually you enter your login credentials and once you enter
they will be sent to the hacker. The hackers then login to your account and
send a phishing mail to all of your contacts which contains the
attachment and any screenshot which you sent to someone previously. As the
received person trusts you and opens the mail the something happens to them
that what happened to your account and this continues, more like a chain
process.
The phishing site URL looks unusual and will be a long string, check the URL
before entering login credentials and also activate two factor authentications
in your account.
