Due to the "Safe Internet Day" the Google announced new features for Gmail designed to make your communications more secure.
First new feature is a new notification that informs you if TLS encryption is not supported by the recipient of the message, or if you receive a message from an unencrypted sender. You will see it from this week on gmail with a pop-up notification and a small padlock icon.
Another minor change for Web users is a question mark icon in the sender's location or the corporate profile of the profile if the sender can not be authenticated.
Google hopes that these moves on its part will reduce the rate of successful phishing attempts and other fraudulent emails. post officey that affect its users.
Also remember that, like last year, the company rewards users who will perform a security check on their connection to 2GB free storage.
And for the suspicious Greeks, we tell you that the movement Google isn't altruistic, not because it suddenly loves you. Google will benefit from the reduction of suspicious messages, since to keep the high traffic of Gmail the company spends a lot money to combat them. In theory always.
