In a blog post, Nicolas Lidzborski, Gmail’s security engineering lead, said relating to this subject: “Your email is important to you, and making sure it stays safe and always available is important to us.” He added , to explain more: “Today’s change means that no one can listen to your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail’s servers – no matter if you’re using public WI-FI or logging in from a computer, phone or tablet.”
As affirmed, this was a top priority of Google. They have more than 425 million users of Google’s Gmail service.
