Latest Feature: Being Notified When Someone Hacks Into Your Gmail Account!

April 6, 2010 Computer News

The latest news is both wonderful and fascinating. Google has recently introduced an entire new feature for all Gmail account users. This feature is going to be able to actually alert Gmail users whenever anything suspicious is going on in their accounts. This is going to enable users to be aware when someone else has gained access to their Gmail account or has used it in any way. This new feature is a Geolocation feature which promises to seriously help all Gmail users with regard to internet security.

What will happen is that if someone has gained access to your Gmail account, you will immediately be alerted with a notification message. This notification message will be a red warning message that will appear. This message will pop up after the IP address has been specifically matched with the geographical location. Users will receive warning messages to change their passwords immediately.

According to Pavni Diwaniji:”While we don’t have the capability to determine the specific location from which an account is accessed, a login appearing to come from one country and occurring a few hours after a login from another country may trigger an alert.”You also need to know that Google already offers the remote sign out feature which is unique to all Gmail users. Gmail users are able to obtain details with regard to their Gmail account through a details link which is located after:”‘Last account activity”.

It is imperative that you are aware of the factor that Google may simply be offering a security alert. This alert by no means is going to replace any of its computer security features in any manner. Although this new feature is not available to Gmail users at the moment, the plan is for it to be made available to all Gmail users in the not too distant future.

This new Geolocation based feature is going to prove extremely helpful to all Gmail users, but it may be even more helpful to those who have no computer security knowledge and who are simple Gmail users. It is going to be fascinating to make use of this new feature and to see what the public has to say about it.
