This is a phishing email. Do NOT click on the link in this message. I fell
for it myself whereas I should have known better than to follow a link to a
Google doc with no explanation of why it was sent to the list.

What the link does: The link requests you to give an app called "Google
Docs" access to your Google account. This is not the real Google Docs from
Google but rather a malicious app with the same name to trick you. If you
give it permission, it then has access to your Gmail and Contacts (why would
Docs need access to those?). It no doubt uses your Gmail and your contacts
to send out a similar link to every address it can find. This is most likely
how Bryan Duarte fell for the scam himself and how the message containing
the link ended up getting sent to this list. If you end up following the
link and adding the Google Docs app to your account, be sure to log into
your account settings and remove the Google Docs app from being able to
access your account. Remember that this is not the real Google Docs app so
removing it will not prevent you from being able to access Google Docs. You
can tell it is the fake malicious app because it will have been added to
your account within a recent period of time.
