      Hardly fair to blame user, this is 100% legit looking. It's a Google Site named Google Docs, no obvious red flags. Google is security-stupid

      Since when are users supposed to know the full range of Google programmed behavior and spot something? It's no possible.

      lol? its very possible. Step 1. Have a brain. Step 2. Read warning dialogs. I agree it should have icons or something, but it won't matter.

      There was no warning dialogue. The brain said Google Docs was asking for permissions. Jeez. It wasn't phishing. Really, jeez.

      There was a warning. It asked for ridiculous permissions.

      That is NOT a warning. "Google" asking you permission is not a warning. This misguided and wrong attitude is why security fails so often.

          blaming users for security problems is never correct... always blame the design first.

          Pointing out that it is noticably weird and "blaming users" are two different things.

          It is a warning, it's telling you exactly what it's going to do. Their only failure is not protecting app names.

          Docs asking for access to your email is not normal workflow. Ever seen Word ask for access to Outlook? That wouldn't be a red flag to you?

          I have seen so many programs ask for access to so many things that if you have the finite catalog one can check against, please do share.
