Gmail: Ensure your information is safe online

Hackers around the world are gaining more attention than usual in the last few months. So we need to be alert while working over Internet. So here is some tips for you to be alert while using Gmail & Other Google Services, most widely used email service.
Google’s security team outlined a number of steps that Gmail users can take to protect themselves, which should only take about “ten minutes.”

Google recommended the following:

• Enable 2-step verification. This Gmail feature uses a phone and second password on sign-in, and it protected some accounts from this attack.

• Use a strong password for Google that you do not use on any other site.

• Enter your password only into a proper sign-in prompt on a https://www.google.com domain. Google will never ask you to email your password or enter it into a form that appears within an email message.

• Check your Gmail settings for suspicious forwarding addresses (“Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab, Fig. 1) or delegated accounts (“Accounts” tab, Fig. 2).
