Is Gmail Secure ? – Yes and no – Here is how to secure Gmail
I was thinking about sercure gmail. And that I often work connected to a WIFi. I was wondering if my Gmail is secure enuogh.. And NO it ISNT… But you can easily secure your GMAIl by doing the following.
Public WiFi can be as dangerous as it can be useful. Unsecured connections make it possible for anyone armed with a packet sniffer to intercept email or track your surfing.
If you want to use Google Mail in a public WiFi, put your mind at ease with this handy tip:
If you go to the default google mail page – http://gmail.google.com you will be redirected to a secure site to log in, but will then be redirected to an unencrypted site for emailing. This makes you a potential risk for anyone who might be eavesdropping on the network.
The solution?
Simply type an ’s’ at the http ID like this: https://gmail.google.com (and bookmark the URL) and you will be encrypted with SSL throughout your entire email session.
