Think Your Email’s Private?

One of the biggest problems with the Internet is the issue around privacy. Nowadays so much information is available online, that the idea of privacy is extremely laughable. You may think your information is private, but it isn’t. Imagine what a lifetime worth of emails could tell about yourself?

Most email providers have security features. It is pretty standard for them to send you notifications when you account is being attempted to compromised from different IP addresses.

It is good to have a password, but make it is something that isn’t really guessable. It should contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters; numbers; and/or special characters such as %, $ and +.
