We can proudly say that we live in a world that has developed scientifically and technically in all aspects, but are you sure that these developments are safe and secure. A survey says that more than billions of users are using internet worldwide and email has become one of the important communication tool and here goes one of the beautiful quotes by Tipper Gore “We use tools such as email, not just as a way to keep in daily touch with family members who live in other cities, but also as a way to keep in touch with staff and members of the public.”
Email, the most necessary tool for communication is threatened by a technological threat called hacking. Hacking of email have become so common nowadays and hope these few tips helps you to prevent your email account from hacking.
• Change your password at regular intervals and always choose a password that cannot be easily guessed by using combinations of upper case, lower case along with numbers and symbols. (but do remember your passwords)
• Don’t ever give your email id’s to all websites you browse
• Beware of what you access and of what is being shared over the network. These public connections can allow others to access your information without you even being aware it is happening.
• Always check your email settings such that any of the settings you made were not changed
• Have an anti-virus software on your computer such that it helps you to recognize any unusual activity
• Use a browser that has phishing filters and check for filters in your email account if you use Gmail account.
