While e-mailing has become much more secure in the past couple of years, there is still a way to go, and Google is now taking yet another measure to secure its users even more against eavesdropping.\u00a0After the Edward Snowden leaks, privacy has gotten a lot of attention, and eavesdropping is no longer thought to be the work of criminals, but just as much governments and security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>While an increasing number of e-mails are delivered securely from the sender to the recipient, Google still finds room for improvement. In this case, mainly in terms of warning the user that an e-mail may have been intercepted by a third party. According to a study made by Google in cooperation\u00a0with the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois, the number of encrypted e-mails received by Gmail has increased from 33% to 61% in just two years. Additionally, the number of TLS encrypted e-mails sent from Gmail&#8217;s servers to non Gmail recipients has increased from 60% to 80% in the same period of time.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Additional security measures in Gmail\" href=\"https:\/\/googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com\/2015\/11\/new-research-encouraging-trends-and.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Google states that it is working on several security measures<\/a> that help keep users&#8217; e-mails safer than is the case today, one of them being to warn users whenever an e-mail has passed through\u00a0unencrypted connections before being delivered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has announced that it wants to warn Gmail users when they receive an e-mail that has passed through insecure connections on its way to Google&#8217;s servers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[136],"tags":[146,144,145],"series":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
