Someone got this today and the site is still alive. If you get this, don't enter any information. It's a scam. The site looks very real and they even mimick integration with plaid. They'll also ask for your email address and password to "verify your email address with IMAP", and ask for your credit card information and pin. If you provide all the steps they request, you're basically technically screwed. *BE CAREFUL!*
Who cares. But can you please bring back Google Music? Thanks in advance.

Android app downloaded 100,000 times from Google Play Store contained password-stealing malware, say security researchers | ZDNet
Updated: App was able to collect login details from users, according to security researchers
A very smart scam is going around today, where a hacker replies to an email you sent to your friend, the display name shows your friend's name and the subject line also looks legit, but the actual email address is a fake one. In the email body you'll find a fake link which seems to be of the sender's website or Gmail or Dropbox etc., but is actually a link containing a virus or password-stealing site. Be very careful!
