Recently, a number of users have been witnessing a glaring red banner popping up when they accessed their Gmail account, saying “Warning: We believe your account was recently accessed from: China (IP ADDRESS)”. ThreatPost reports that among the seemingly random victims — gamers, doctors, media consultants — was also a member of Privacy International in the United Kingdom. Even though his Gmail account is wholly unconnected with his work for the human rights organization, he said that it is possible that he was targeted because of a EU-China Human Rights Network seminar during which he discussed freedom of speech issues and differences between the EU and China on that account. All users who have been similarly warned are advised by Google to change their passwords. Technolog asked Google to comment on the occurrence, and they said that the banner is simply part of the security feature introduced in March.
