So long gone are the days when emails were meant to kick off a casual conversation, electronic mail is now used for everything. From bank statements to credit card numbers, your email is loaded with vital information.
Here are the top five email mistakes people make and should avoid. You don’t log off. While logging in and signing off may be a pain in the butt, you should do it anyway. Don’t leave any bait for hackers to access all your information. Clicking on random links. It happens, email accounts get compromised and suddenly your inbox is flooded with random messages with links from someone on your contact list. If you are ever on the receiving end of a suspicious email, do not click any link or download any files. Delete it and give your friend a heads up. Checking email on an unsafe network. Computers at libraries, businesses or cafe’s may not be safest place to access your email. Public WiFi systems are also a bit sketchy. Avoid checking your inbox in shared computers and local hot spots. Using the same username and passwords. If your gmail username and password is the same as your Facebook login, that’s a problem. Do you want to get hacked? Change it, as soon as possible. Also, don’t use your birthday or dogs name as a password either, be an original. Keeping old emails. Delete sent , trashed old messages with sensitive and personal information |
