Google as you might have noticed is one of my favorite companies right after IGIHE LTD (My own). It is not so often a person gets to love a company, but i can without a doubt, say this : I love Google!
I believe this is mainly due to the fact that the company puts so much effort in taking care of the needs of all of their customers at an individual level not only the group level. Believe it or not, whether or not you are aware of it Google is actually your best friend, for almost anything you might think of, as far as the internet is concerned.
This will guide you on how to make your GMail (GOOGLE MAIL) mailbox hacker proof :
Using a simple tool called, 2 Steps verifications, enables you to add a mobile phone to your Google Mail.
The idea behind this is pretty simple :
- If you ever try to connect to GMAIL for the first time from a computer, Google will send you a confirmation code by SMS or Voice Call, after you typed your password.
- Once you receive the confirmation code by SMS or Phone Call, Gmail will ask you whether the current computer should be trusted for 30 days, period after which you will have to reconfirm all the devices that you have trusted so far.
I won't go into the details on how to enable 2 Steps verification on GMail, the google documentation does a good job of explaining all this already, just click on the link below to make sure your mailbox never gets hacked :

NOW ON THE HACKER'S SIDE : If i wanted to hack into your gmail. (I managed to get your password) but i am stuck at the Two steps verification's.
I wonder if stealing cookies wouldn't do the job. Have to experiment this and write a new post later. So make sure you check again, for the results.
