Google is ‘very upset’ and the reason is China-based company that it says has scammed millions of Americans; many times ‘using’ Google’s name, logo

Google has filed a landmark lawsuit to dismantle what it describes as a vast, China-based cybercriminal operation responsible for phishing attacks that have targeted millions of people worldwide. In a complaint filed, the tech giant accused a “cybercriminal group in China” of running a sprawling enterprise called Lighthouse, which sells ready-made “phishing for dummies” kits that enable scammers with little technical expertise to carry out large-scale fraud campaigns.

According to Google, the Lighthouse network provides subscription-based phishing software—available on weekly, monthly, annual, or even lifetime plans—complete with hundreds of fake website templates, domain setup tools, and payment features designed to mimic legitimate platforms.
