Chinese Internet users indicate that when Gmail is accessed, users are auto-forwarded to a replica site at a different address (http://124.117.227.201/web/gmail/) where they're asked to enter or re-enter their account information. users connect to this non-Google owned site if they use Google's browser toolbar or simply enter the address "www.gmail.com.
This ISP phishing may be an attempt to create a sense of insecurity around Gmail, intended to get Web users to stop trusting or using Google. So far however, it is unclear who orchestrated the attacks, other than that the server originated from Ürümqi in Northwest China.
