Gmail adds phishing warning feature

Google's email service enhances security by warning about suspected phishing emails and potential threats within.

Gmail will warn you if an email comes from an unsafe address.

According to Zdnet, Google will add a new security feature to Gmail on the web and on Android devices this week. If an email sent to your inbox is potentially dangerous, a red question mark will appear next to the sender's profile picture, company logo or avatar... to raise your alertness.

The warnings are part of an effort to combat phishing emails, which are often used by hackers to scam users and steal billions of dollars each year. Google says that not all emails with a red question mark are dangerous, but it is a sign to pay more attention.

Warning appears if the link in the email is not secure.

In addition, the web version of Gmail also adds a security feature when users click on unsafe links with Safe Browsing technology. This form of security works with Gmail on Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
