Google's Gmail fights email phishing attacks!!

Google is currently testing a service designed to alert Gmail users to
messages that appear to be phishing attacks. When the Gmail team
becomes aware of such an attack, the details of these messages are used
to automatically identify future suspected phishing attacks.

The result: when a Gmail user opens a suspected phishing message, Gmail
displays a warning.

Gmail's phishing alerts operate automatically, much like spam
filtering. Gmail's spam filters automatically divert messages that are
suspected of being unwanted messages into 'Spam'. Similarly, Gmail's
phishing alerts automatically display warnings with messages that are
suspected of being phishing attacks so that users know to take care
before providing any personal information.
