By The CoolAge Reporter From Buzz@Bangalore, Bangalore In a bid to stop
snooping on its users, Google has overhauled its Gmail service in a big
way - encrypting every single email you send or receive. According to
the firm, "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 centres", said the firm. Gmail now always uses an
encrypted HTTPS connection when you check or send email and it can not
be turned off. "No one can listen in on your messages as they go back
and forth between you and Gmail's servers," the firm said in a press
release. Your email is important to you and making sure it stays safe
and always available is important to us, said Google. As you go about
your day reading, writing and checking messages, there are tonnes of
security measures running behind the scenes to keep your email safe,
secure, and there whenever you need it, said the firm officials. The
effort is in the wake of the revelations made last year when National Security
Agency (NSA) whistle-blower Edward Snowden told the world that the NSA
had access to Google's servers. According to Google, new change means
that no one can listen in on your messages no matter if you are using
public WiFi or logging in from your computer, phone or tablet. Want to
