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, a new security feature will be added by Google to Gmail on the web platform 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 vigilance.

These warnings are part of an effort to combat email spoofing, which is often used by hackers to scam users and has stolen billions of dollars each year. However, Google said that not all emails with a red question mark are dangerous, but this is a sign for you to pay more attention.

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

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