Scammers are capitalizing on the rush of consumer interest in artificial-intelligence tools to steal U.S. small businesses’ social-media-account passwords, Google alleges in a new lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, targets unnamed individuals in India and Vietnam.

When they do, the ads hit them with malware that steals their social-media credentials.
