Google Profits off Impersonations of Banned Cryptocurrency Celebs and Companies

Cryptocurrency companies are banned on Google but the platform is allowing phishing sites to impersonate them.

Spiers shared a screenshot showing a Google advert that promotes www.coincornerr.com, an apparent phishing site that impersonates the Coin Corner website. Scott said Coin Corner reported the scam site to Google but it has not been removed from search results.
