this attempt has made Google a great thread to their quality and secure mail system so Google has decided to increase the security aspect of their email service and recently added some alert features in their mail box to alert them if their Email account has been attempted to hack or not. The latest security enhancement is based on the IP and detects all the attempts to login to Gmail account and which has a very high Security control.

Here are the some snaps which might help you out to know if your Gmail account has been attempted t hack for not. The alert appears as soon  activity is detected regarding your email account, you will see a warning in bright red colored font right below the search bar. If you desire to know more about the warning, you will have the option to click on the Show Details and preferences link.

This is a snap how the alert will appear and displays when and from which IP yo loged in and also you will get a quick link to change the password immediately which can actually save from the disaster.and Since it is based on the Ip so it will show the Alert if your account has been loged in from two different countries in some interval of time because the compares the IP on the Geographical basis so the Country can be detected too..
