Gmail, the largest e-mailing platform has added some new features for enhancing security for emails. The announcement about the same was made by Google yesterday. Google announced a number of enhancements to its cyber security warnings on Thursday.
The technology giant has expanded an alert system that notifies Gmail users before they click on suspicious links. Google said the warnings will now appear again after a user clicks such a link, and that the protection will extend beyond the Chrome web browser and Gmail app as well, it said. “You can continue to http://example.com/ at your own risk,” the notice warns, directing the recipient to more “safe browsing” instructions.
Next, Google said it had created a new warning message that will appear when the company suspects a user might be under attack by state-sponsored hackers. “Government-backed attackers may be trying to steal your password,” the message reads, before supplying instructions to secure one’s online accounts, such as enabling two-factor authentication, which sends a separate verification code to the user’s phone when a login attempt is made. Google’s Jigsaw think tank project is helping with the alerts about state-sponsored attacks.
Additionally, the search giant said it had collaborated with others in the industry, including Comcast , Microsoft , and Yahoo, to write and submit a draft proposal for new email encryption standard.
