1. Gmail has been allowing access from both secure https and non-secure http protocol. If you sign in to Gmail via a non-secure Internet connection, like a public wireless or non-encrypted network, you are more vulnerable to hacking and hijacking. If you login to your account via http:// protocol and not https://, the connection between browser and google servers is not encrypted and hacker may sniff the data in between. Protecting your Gmail account from Hacking is easy.
The solution is to set Permanent SSL in Gmail:
Sign in to Gmail >> Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page >>Set ‘Browser Connection’ to ‘Always use https.’ >>Click Save Changes >>Reload Gmail.
Please note,
- Gmail Notifier users must download a patch for Notifier to work with this setting.
- Errors in the Gmail for mobile application may result from enabling this setting.
- Errors in Google Toolbar may result from enabling this setting.
