Keeping your email safe - Alexandria, Arlington, Washington DC
Summary
A lack of sufficient email security measures can result in data theft, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and malware attacks. For the sake of security, set longer passwords (or passphrases) that contain a good mix of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. This creates an extra layer of security by requesting for another method to verify your identity like a fingerprint scan or a temporary activation code sent to your mobile phone. They might even create a sense of urgency by claiming that there’s an issue with your account, and that you should send them information or click on a dangerous link to “confirm” your personal details. Also, check for any suspicious activities in your logs like unusual devices and IP addresses that have accessed your account.
