One Click On This Fake Google Meet Update Can Give Attackers Control Of Your PC
Security Boulevard, Friday, March 6th, 2026
A phishing page disguised as a Google Meet update notice is silently handing victims' Windows computers to an attacker-controlled management server. No password is stolen, no files are downloaded, and there are no obvious red flags.
It just takes a single click on a convincing Google Meet fake update prompt to enroll your Windows PC into an attacker-controlled device management system.
'To keep using Meet, install the latest version'
The social engineering is almost embarrassingly simple: an app update notice in the right brand colors.
The page impersonates Google Meet well enough to pass a casual glance. But neither the Update now button nor the Learn more link below it goes anywhere near Google.
