G Suite is central to Twinkl’s global growth strategy and their goal to be a geo-independent company.Ģ. Pete Casson, Twinkl’s Chief Technology Office, remarks that “G Suite enables us to grow without barriers.” The now global and highly-remote Twinkl team relies on G Suite to collaborate, using Hangouts Meet to power daily standup meetings, Google Drive to ensure documents are always available and secure, and Hangouts Chat to help teams communicate quickly and move work forward. Twinkl Educational Publishing saw these benefits firsthand as they grew their team from 100 people in one country to more than 500 people in 14 countries (in just three years!). With G Suite, getting new team members up and running is as simple as a few clicks in the Admin console. However, cloud-based tools like G Suite can help alleviate some of this complication by allowing you to scale your teams faster, and more efficiently, around the world. Ĭollaborating with coworkers despite distance, maintaining a corporate culture, and onboarding employees are just three examples of core business activities that don’t traditionally scale well.

Growing businesses use G Suite to grow seamlessly. Customers often tell us that their move to G Suite helped ease these growing pains by allowing them to grow seamlessly, stay secure, and be as efficient as possible.ġ. The good news is that at least it appears that Google is acting fast to remove the Drive documents that contain the malicious links, but that doesn’t mean you always think twice about clicking anywhere.As your business scales, what were once relatively simple tasks like onboarding new employees, maintaining data security, or organizing your files become increasingly complicated. If you receive one or multiple of these notifications you can report them to Google on the support page. Something similar happened to Google Calendar in 2019 when a phishing campaign took advantage of an automatic function of the Google calendar to fill the application with notifications to fake events.

The problem is that since Drive always wants to keep you up to date when someone mentions you in a shared document, the filters do not act the same, because the sender will be the same Google.Īnd, it is also difficult for Google to stop the notification if in fact it comes from a legitimate Gmail account, which are very easy to create. Unlike spam in Gmail, which Google filters very well, these messages arrive directly not only in your inbox, but also on your mobile and other services connected with Drive. The messages are in English or Russian, and contain quite prominent links, perhaps this is enough to arouse suspicion in many users, but not for others, and this type of scams can easily evolve to be more convincing tomorrow and speak in your language.

It is a new phishing campaign that is is taking advantage of a bug in Drive to send push notifications through mobile, notification emails to Gmail, and in other cases, like having Drive connected to Slack, I even receive spam in the company workspace. Personally, I have been a recipient of these types of notifications for several days. The notification is legitimate and comes from Google, the shared document is the problem One of the main ways to identify a phishing email is looking at the sender’s email address for suspicious thingsBut when the message comes from a legitimate Google address, you have to take a closer look.Ī new scam is taking advantage of Google Drive to evade the anti-spam measures that Gmail has, and fill our inbox with notifications to shared documents that may contain malicious links.
