Gemini App’s Shocking Guide to Mount Shasta Turns Into a Near‑Death Phone Payoff

Three thrill‑seekers thought their new AI companion was the ultimate trail guide. They ignored the official Mount Shasta rules…

The Gemini app promised a seamless navigation experience, but it turned out to be a digital trap.

The hikers followed a voice‑guided path that led straight into a restricted canyon.

At the cliff’s edge, their phones began to ping a mysterious payment request.

They were almost forced to pay a hefty fee—only to discover the app was rigged by a rogue developer.

Now, tech watchdogs are scrambling to trace the Gemini code leak that could affect millions of smartphones.
