Gmail’s New Encrypted Messages Feature Opens a Door for Scams

Google announced in early April that an easy tool for business users to be sent easily “End-to-son encrypted” emails-In effort to solve a long-lasting problem to add additional security protection to the messages. The feature is currently in beta-tastes to test enterprise users in their own organizations. Will then be expanded to allow Google Workpace users to send endless encrypted emails to any Gmail The user. By the end of the year, the feature will allow users to send more reliable emails to any box of employment. Although the email warns spam and digital fraud researchers, the feature offers a new choice for email confidentiality and safety, it will also miss new phishing attacks.

It is difficult for the latest in-final encryption, sending information from the Sender and Buyer’s devices, but to add information to the historical e-mail protocol. To do this, the mechanisms usually cost a very complex and costly and only make sense to large organizations trying to meet special compliance requirements. On the contrary, it is very simple to use the encrypted email from the end of Google and is not required to have an important place. Digital fraud researchers include the most concerned, although the employee’s user user’s user is sent to an encrypted email.

“If the buyer is not a Gmail user, Gmail sends an invitation to see E2EE email in a limited version of Gmail,” he wrote in the Google Blog post. “The buyer can then use the Google Workpace account to look valid and respond to the email.”

The fear is that the scammers use this new and more reliable communication mechanism, fake copies of these invitations with harmful links and emails, emergency credentials for single login services or other accounts.

“By looking at Google, we can see a new job flow to see a link to see an email for Gmail users,” Jérôme Segura, General Director of Hazard in Malwarebytes Jérôme Segura says. “Users cannot get to know how a legitimate invitation seems to be, they are more susceptible to clicking on the fake.”

The technical restrictions of the email, Google, created a way for automatic management of an organization’s work area – encrypted messages used descriptive messages to manage automatically. Key management is something that makes the last encrypted email until the end so it is a solution that offers a solution that is easy to customers. The organization means the feature of the local sender and the feature of managing the keys instead of keeping local in the purchaser’s devices not suitable as final encryption until the end in the serious sense of the term. However, researchers say that the tool for the use of works as compliance with the work can still be extremely useful. And individuals who want less encrypted communication to the end should only use A targeted application as a signal.

When Gmail users receive one of the newly encrypted emails from Google Workpace, Google will be in the game to widely protect the mechanisms of extensive spam filters, spam, phishing and naughty shame. However, outside the Google Ecosystem, e-mail users will be able to adopt the service available for anyone, but also non-Google users will leave their devices.
