Receive notifications on your iOS device for high-priority emails only

/in

Notifications are only useful if you have time to read them—and if you’re being notified hundreds of times a day, chances are, you don’t. That’s why we’re introducing a feature that alerts you only when important emails land in your Gmail inbox, so you know when your attention is really required.

 

These notifications leverage Gmail’s machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to identify messages you may want to read first. To enable the feature, select “High priority only” from the Notifications drop-down in the settings menu of your Gmail iOS app.

Available on iOS now and Android soon, we hope this feature makes your Gmail notifications relevant—not just noise.

Everything you need to know about VPNFilter Malware

/in

 

VPNFilter Malware:

It has been just reported that a dangerous malware called VPNFilter is targeting increasing number of makes and models of devices, with its additional capabilities like secretly injecting malicious content over web traffic through an infected router. This capability, called SSLER lets VPNFilter stage a kind of man in the middle attack, with an aim to spy on victims to steal sensitive data. Using this capability, SSLer allows the actor in delivering exploits to endpoints.

It has been found out that this malware is continuously targeting more makes and models of devices. With its additional and increased capabilities, exploits can now be delivered to end points and reboots can be overridden.

WHAT IS VPNFILTER Malware?

VPN Filter is a sophisticated malware which uses known vulnerabilities to infect routers made by Linksys, MikroTik, Netgear, QNAP and TP-Link. Once installed, the malware uses a central infrastructure to install specialized plug-ins on the router. One plug-in allows hackers to listen to their victims’ Internet traffic to steal their Web identifiers; another one targets a protocol used in industrial control networks, such as in the power grid. A third plug-in allows attackers to paralyze any or all infected hardware. Together, all of the infected units in dozens of countries make up a 500,000-router strong botnet.

Old Gmail routing settings to be automatically converted starting July 11th

/in

In January 2017, we announced some changes to the Gmail routing settings in the Admin console. For technical reasons, some of these changes were delayed past the originally communicated date and are now launching this month.

Convert old Gmail routing settings now

Going forward, your remaining Sending routing, Receiving routing, Catch-all address, and Domain-level routing settings are read-only. These settings are still active, but in order to make changes, you need to click the CONVERT button next to the existing rule.

Going forward, your remaining Sending routing, Receiving routing, Catch-all address, and Domain-level routing settings are read-only.

Once you click CONVERT, we’ll convert the setting and map it to the new fields automatically. The converted setting will then be placed in the unified routing section, where all of your rules will be manageable from one place. The old setting will no longer be visible in the user interface, so you won’t need to clean up old rules afterwards.

All settings automatically migrated starting July 11th

If you don’t convert your settings using the CONVERT button, they’ll be automatically migrated to the unified routing section no earlier than July 11th, 2018. This migration will take place over the course of several weeks.

Launch Details
Release track:

CONVERT button launching to both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release now
Automatic migration starting for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release no earlier than July 11th, 2018

Editions:
Available to all G Suite editions

Rollout pace:
