Gmail is the most popular email service in the world, thanks to a variety of features and security improvements that Google delivered over the years. On the latter, Google does a tremendous job at trying to catch email spam automatically and reduce the risk of hackers taking advantage of users. To that end, Google recently introduced a new blue checkmark security feature that's similar to Twitter Blue.
The blue indicator should appear next to email coming from genuine companies. It should bring peace of mind to Gmail users and increase their security further. But you shouldn't trust the Gmail blue checkmarks yet. It turns out there's a big security flaw that hackers are exploiting right now. They found a way to fool Gmail's security system, and this will increase the risk of phishing attacks.
Google will fix the security flaw, but it might take time for the patch to roll out.
