Nearly everyone uses email these days, to keep in touch with colleagues, family or friends. Organizations use email to send and receive sensitive business information, and individuals regularly disclose personal details in their emails.
The Risks of Email
However, most people are still not equipped to deal with the email security threats, the most common being spam, malware and phishing.
Just like a regular mailbox, someone can attempt to sabotage your email account or intercept and read your messages. As hackers become savvier, there have been more incidents of private information being leaked through email.
Keeping your email safe
Of course it isn't all bad. Most of us aren't sending secret messages, and usually all we need is a little common sense to enjoy safe email. Following a few simple rules can make all the difference, especially for minors. We've put together a little information that will help parents keep email safe for kids.
But what if you do need to share sensitive data by email?
For email users who are sharing sensitive data, we recommend considering encrypted and anonymous email. These services can give you both the peace of mind and security that you seek.
