Title: GMAIL WILL NOW WARN YOU IF YOU’RE BEING TARGETED BY THE GOVERNMENT

Apple isn’t the only company fighting against government-backed cyber attacks.

While Apple and the FBI bicker over user security, Google is bringing security into the public eye in a different way – by simply telling you what’s going on. The company will be increasing the visibility of Gmail security warnings to try and help people better protect themselves when sending and receiving emails.

One of the changes is the expansion of the “safe browsing” notifications, which basically tell you when you’re about to open a suspicious link from an email. These warnings will show up when a link is clicked, but before the link actually opens, presenting users with one final option to retreat instead of visiting the page.

Previously, a warning only showed before a link was click, but no block appeared if the user didn’t see the warning or decided to click anyway. Google hopes this new, additional warning, will help stop users from visiting malicious sites. Related: A two-year-old security flaw could give hijackers root access to your Android phone

Google is also continuing the fight against state-sponsored attacks, showing a full-page warning when it thinks you’re being targeted by a government-backed hacker. Google does mention in a blog post that less than 0.1 percent of Gmail users will be receiving this warning, however, it highlights the importance of the warnings because of the fact that the people getting them are often journalists, policy-makers, and activists.

The new warning of state-sponsored attacks can be shown in addition to, or instead of, current warnings that Google has in place for state-sponsored attacks.

Google has been beefing up Gmail security quite a bit of late, and last month announced that it would be warning users who sent an email to a recipient that wasn’t using TLS encryption. According to Google, since adding this message, the number of emails sent over encrypted connections has increased by 25 percent.

Let's hope it's not just a bunch of PR from both companies, right? Being as obscenely wealthy as they are, it seems impossible they're not fully enmeshed with the citizen- and customer-hating NWO.

I'm taking Marlwarebytes up on a trial deluxe usage, and often throughout the day there's a popup telling the computer number of the latest person trying to hack my puter. Am hoping this is just notification of something it's been doing in the free version all the while. They're a good outfit so I don't think (!) they'd try to hype us into services and anxieties we don't need to bother with.....?

Dunno if I trust Google, but shouldn't be hard to install a warning message before you open a malicious e-mail. Earthlink has done it for years.

I do get these "Malwarebytes has blocked malicious website" message which I don't understand. I agree that Maywarebytes is a good outfit. They worked with me for two days getting rid of a nasty ransomware.

Rivero is fond of saying, "The fedgov wants access to your computer but can do nothing about ransomware attacks except to say 'pay it'.

When I used Windows, MWB was my first line of defense; good company.

I swear by it, ditto CCleaner and Diskmax. I use other standard free version antiviri despite standard warnings not to multiply 'em.
