Google's Gmail service in China has been hijacked by hackers, who are redirecting users to a fake log-in page to steal e-mail credentials.

According to a report by

Fast CompanyGmail users in China have been complaining that when they access the website, they are automatically redirected to a fake Gmail page.

This happens when they attempt to access their accounts from the Google Toolbar or visit 'www.gmail.com' directly.

In a statement to Fast Company, a Google spokesperson said: “As always, users should be careful about where they share their personal information, and should avoid clicking through warnings about suspicious sites. We encourage Gmail users to visit https://mail.google.com directly.”

Fast Company suggests there might be a more sinister purpose behind the Gmail phishing attack, indicating that it might be an attempt to create mistrust around Google services, so that Chinese Internet users abandon it.
