Gmail alert you to suspicious mail access
Before the cyberattack from China last January, which affected mainly the mail service Gmail, its owner, Google, has reacted by announcing today from its corporate blog that will send a warning message to the owner of the account when it detects suspicious access, for example, from another country.
The owner of the account and could, until now, consult the IP addresses from which there have been recent hits on an email account itself. The IP address can determine an approximate geographical origin of the petition's Internet site, at least that country is a native IP.
Based on this information, if Gmail detects a Web access from a country other than the same account you agreed hours before an event regarded as suspicious and inform the holder that such access. Maria Teresa Nevado
