This is a real Alert and not an "Internet Phishing" scam.....
Since Google announced that they were going to upgrade the Google Drive, Hackers on the web have been taking advantage of the "unprepared."
Using a valid Google Drive account, the hackers send an email telling you that you have a shared document. You click on the link
THAT IS ACTUALLY HOSTED ON A GOOGLE SERVER SO IT IS VERY EASY TO THINK THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE EMAIL!!!
The hackers get you to log-in (using some simple design) and boom.... they have your username and password!!

Google is aware and has already pulled some of these pages off their servers, but it is imperative that all Tech Coordinators, once again (and again, and again, and again....) remind all end users NEVER TO CLICK ON A LINK UNLESS THEY KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT IS FROM A VALID SOURCE!!!
Here is an article from respected site GIZMODO, going into more detail.
