Google’s email communication with webmasters

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

We’ve noticed that someone is again trying to spoof the emails that Google sends to webmasters to
alert them with issues about their site. These emails are not coming from Google, and in fact
several weeks ago we
temporarily discontinued sending these emails to webmasters
while we explore different, secure ways of communicating with webmasters. Watch this space for
more news – but in the meantime, you can safely assume that any email message you receive is
not, in fact, from us.
