The Indian government has ordered Google to remove hundreds of Firebase accounts after identifying a pattern of criminals using the service to impersonate bank websites for cyber fraud.
The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) specifically identified 57 domains that were being exploited to deceive users, prompting the directive to shut down the malicious infrastructure.
This move is part of a broader crackdown on digital fraud, with authorities demanding that tech platforms take immediate action to prevent the misuse of cloud services for financial crimes.
