alt Hacker NewsIt's not one example. The scammers purposefully target people like these. That's their business.
Like, I'm sure there's a small amount of people who normally wouldn't get scammed but fall for it in a panic. But, is that really such a big concern for Google that they absolutely must continue stripping user freedoms from us? Is the current 30s popup which needs 3 confirmations not enough? Will the new one really work?
Yes the most likely to fall are going to be targeted, but if you make that group of people 90% smaller with a delay that is still beneficial.
Whether the feature is beneficial overall is a different story. But helping some people is great even if it doesn't help everyone.
