Google has taken a stand against phishing attacks by revealing Password Alert: a Chrome extension designed to neutralize them after a user is taken in, reports SC Magazine.
Password Alert is a free, open-source extension, designed to spot when you type your Google password into a site outside of the Google domain. The service stores an encrypted version of a user’s Google password which the browser then cross-checks every time you type a password into a non-Google external site. If it spots a match, a notification window will appear, suggesting you reset your password right away.
