Google gives Gmail major security boost to stop spy stooping

Google has given its Gmail service a major security overhaul in a bid to stop spy agencies snooping on users - even boosting security on its own networks, the Daily Mail reported.

“Every single email message you send or receive - 100 percent of them - is encrypted while moving internally,” the firm said.

“This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also as they move between Google's data centers—something we made a top priority after last summer’s revelations.”

"This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail's servers, but also as they move between Google's data centers—something we made a top priority after last summer’s revelations."

Google promises that now “no one can listen in on your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail’s servers.”

The company originally denied the US government had access to its servers, but as more and more details leaked, it became clear the NSA had multiple initiatives to collect user data from Google and other technology firms via various means.

“Your email is important to you, and making sure it stays safe and always available is important to us,” sad Google.

“As you go about your day reading, writing and checking messages, there are tons of security measures running behind the scenes to keep your email safe, secure, and there whenever you need it.”

“Today's change means that no one can listen in on your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail’s servers—no matter if you're using public WiFi or logging in from your computer, phone or tablet. “
