    A widespread phishing scheme targeted people across the web on Wednesday.

    The sophisticated attack appeared to come from a trusted source asking you to open a Google Document. If you clicked, it took you to a page to open the "Google Docs" app with your Google account. This granted access to your email account and contacts.

    Google said it stopped the attacks in one hour.
