Persistent phishing emails impersonating Google Docs billing cannot be stopped

The combination of monopoly lock-in and automated enforcement creates a single point of failure that can instantly halt business communications with no recourse. Businesses are forced to build expensive redundant architectures just to protect against their own infrastructure provider.
