Have you ever heard of a word "Phishing"?
"Phishing" means and refers to trying to obtain information about Internet users, whether personal information such as name, address, age, or financial such as credit card number and bank account number.
Phishing attempts occur via e-mails or websites, and the serious thing is that they appear to be sent by trusted and known companies in order to deceive users. The simplest types of phishing, which are trapped by many users, is that the trolls send e-mails asking the user to visit a site to update their data. They change the character in the company's name to looks like as yahooo instead of Yahoo, for example. In the end and go to the fake site and enter his personal data without knowing that there are those behind behind him behind the scenes.
Google is one of the most affected companies on the Internet. Earlier this year, its Google Docs service was targeted in the same way, making it launch a new security tool that protects user accounts with its various services. According to the site "Makeuseof", the tool carries the name "Password Alert", and protects all Google accounts different from phishing attacks
How the tool works?
Where can I upload them?
The add-on monitors the page that asks you to sign in with your Google Account, verifies that this page is valid, and whether it's supported by the company. If this page is not supported by Google, then begins to write the password for your account, the tool will immediately warn you that this page is suspect by sending a special notice. With this warning you can change the password you just entered on the fake page quickly before the trolls exploit it. The tool can be downloaded from the Google Add-on Store on your computer by clicking on this link and then on the "Add to chrome" button.
