INTERNET Important Email Security Tips You Should Know About by emailsecurity: 3:01pm On Dec 02, 2018
Avoid Public Wi-Fi

And lastly, avoid checking your email when you’re on public Internet. Yes, I know that when you’re waiting for an airplane to reach your gate, it can be tempting to whip out your smartphone or laptop and check for new messages. Unfortunately, public Wi-Fi can be extremely insecure.

There are programs out there called “network sniffers” that run passively in the background of some hacker’s device. The sniffer monitors all of the wireless data flowing through a particular network – and that data can be analyzed for important information. Like your username and password.

It’s strange that as the years go by, security grows tighter in some ways and we remain just as vulnerable as we’ve always been in other ways. Email security comes down to common sense and careful decisions. Don’t let laziness and convenience overshadow your desire for protection and peace.
Don’t give your email address to sites you don’t trust.
Don’t post your email address to public websites or forums. Spammers often scan these sites for email addresses.
Don’t click the “Unsubscribe” link in a spam email. It would only let the spammer know your address is legitimate, which could lead to you receiving more spam.
Understand that reputable businesses will never ask for personal information via email.
Don’t send personal information in an email message.
Don’t reply to spam. Be aware that if you reply to a spam email, your reply most-likely will not go back to the original spammer because the FROM header in the spam message will most-likely be forged.
Don’t share passwords.
Be sure to log out.

Thanks for sharing email security tips. Spam messages and phishing tricks are common now. You can also use DMARC that is an online email security tool. BIMI Record Generator is a free tool that generates BIMI records which you can publish on your DNS. It's used for your brand appearance. The user gets an email with your company's logo. This way verification improves.
