Ads Spotted in Google Verification Text Messages

Ads were spotted in Google verification code text messages, and a phone carrier is reportedly at fault. According to 9to5Google, Action Launcher developer Chris Lacy tweeted a photo on Monday of an actual two-factor authentication text message from Google with a VPN ad and included link at the end of it. Lacy said he asked for a verification code after a failed login attempt, so it wasn't a random text, but Google Messages still flagged it as spam.
