Google just launched a program that warns, us, the users about the “state-sponsored attacks.” Therefore, each time a user is trying to access an account that is under the thread of a state-sponsored or phishing attack a message will appear saying “We believe state-sponsored attackers may be attempting to compromise your account or computer” or “Warning: Phishing (web forgery) suspected.”

The new warning system introduced by Google is capable of detecting certain types of government-tied attacks, displaying a notification banner that contains a link that will redirect you to a webpage where you will be taught how to improve the security of your personal data.
