As Google continues to rollout updated features to their suite of products, users should remain vigilant for fraudulent emails purporting to use the Gmail name to gain trust and phish unsuspecting users. On 24 May, (posted in the 29 May SRU), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released an Intelligence Note to inform network defenders of future changes to the Google Suite of products, including Gmail services that could be used for future nefarious activity by malicious actors. The new Gmail “Confidential E-mail Mode” feature requires users to click a link to access the confidential email, a practice that is contrary to common best-practice of not clicking links in emails. As Gmail is a widely-trusted brand, it is crucial that users are reminded how to identify well-crafted phishing emails, particularly ones that purport or appear to come through Gmail. SC Media.
