Usually, cyber criminals uses fake domains for phishing attack. Recently, Sophos researchers come across a phishing attack in which the Google Docs page is used for the attack.
In one of the spam mails, the email asks the recipient to confirm their email account details or risk having it shut down.
The link points to a page on Google Docs (docs.google.com). That gives the link a false aura of legitimacy. Once users visit the link, the page falsely claims that your email account will be shut down in three days and the only way it claims you can resolve the situation is by entering your username and password.
