By June 13, filings in New York federal court added Gemini AI usage, 8,000 phishing sites, and FBI-linked totals of 3.87 million stolen cards plus $1.9 billion in losses since July 2023. The June 15 update further details 1.5 million fraudulent URLs and 55,000 spam reports, highlighting escalating regulatory and security risks for AI platforms.
