Google is rolling out a new anti-phishing feature in Gmail on Android that will warn users when they’ve clicked on a suspicious link in an email. “The site you are trying to visit has been identified as a forgery, intended to trick you into disclosing financial, personal or other sensitive information,” the text of the warning says, with options to continue at your own risk or report an incorrect warning.
The feature will be gradually rolled out to all Gmail users over the next days and comes shortly after an elaborate phishing attack involving an app that posed as Google Docs, and tricked a large number of users into granting the malicious app access to their Google accounts.
