Gmail Ups Security To Help Stop Phishing Scams
Gmail recently fixed up some of their security to help keep sites like eBay and PayPal from being used as phishing attacks. They do a double check on the origination and if it isn’t right it gets removed – not even spammed, just gone.
They’ve now added a Gmail Labs function that can let you know when an email is from a verified secure sender (currently it’s eBay and PayPal only). It puts a little key by the address to let you know that the sender has been checked and verified. Just another helpful little notice that it’s a safe email to open. Just go to your labs options in your Gmail settings to turn it on.
Check out more about this updated function at the offical Gmail blog post.
