Google Vows To Make Gmail More Secured by SUCCESSMINDS(m): 8:10am On Feb 10, 2016
From today, any messages that a Gmail user sends or receives from email providers that do not support TLS encryption will be flagged with a tiny unlocked padlock icon. Clicking the padlock brings up a dialog box warning the user that if his message contains “confidential information” they may want to advise their contact to use a different email provider. In addition to this, Gmail will flag up email contacts whose identity cannot be verified. Any emails from unauthenticated sources will have their profile photo replaced with a question mark, and although Google notes that not all emails flagged in this way will be dangerous, it’s a good reminder to be extra careful. If one receives a message that claims to be from his bank, for instance, but has an unauthenticated sender, it’s almost certainly malicious, and he should erase it immediately before it steals his money, his identity, and maybe his soul.
