Google has revealed plans to send Gmail users alerts when a shady piece of email lands in their inbox. The company is sending the update to question whether the recipient should really click on the links or attachments contained in the email. While Gmail already includes warnings in messages, the new alerts are aimed to help identify links to websites known for hosting malicious software, or if Gmail can't authenticate that the identity of the sender.
