A massive attack on Google hit millions of Gmail users after receiving an email which instructs the user to click on a document. After that, a very google-like page that will ask for your password and that's where you get infected.
Experts warned that if ever you received an email which asks you to click a document, please! DO NOT CLICK IT!

This "worm" which arrived in the inboxes of Gmail users in the form of an email from a trusted contact asking users to click on an attached "Google Docs," or GDocs, file. Clicking on the link took them to a real Google security page, where users were asked to give permission for the fake app, posing as GDocs, to have an access to the users' email account.

For added menace, this worm also sent itself out to all of the contacts of the affected user Gmail or and others spawning itself hundreds of times any time a single user was hooked on its snare.
It is a common strategy but what puzzled millions of affected users was the sophisticated construction of the malicious link which was so realistic; from the email sender to the link that remarkably looks real.

Worms or phishing attacks generally access your personal information like passwords of your bank accounts, social media accounts, and others.
Within an hour, a red warning began appearing with the malicious email that says it could be a phishing attack.

However, Google said that they had "disabled" the malicious accounts and pushed updates to all users. They also said that it only affected "fewer than 0.1 percent of Gmail users" still be about 1 million of the service's roughly 1 billion users around the world.
