#1 Email Phishing
It is said that, ‘’TO ERR IS A HUMAN’’…..AND THERFORE THE SAME APPLIES TO THE HUMAN TENDENCY OF FORGETTING THINGS OFTEN UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT, IF NOT, THERE IS A 99.9% CHANCE THAT YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD MORE THAN ONE TIME, [ MANY PEOPLE EVEN HAVE 6-7 ID’S OF THEIR OWN!]
WITH SUCH GREAT POWERS COMES GREAT RESPONSIBLITIES! AND SO…. WITH MANY EMAIL ADDRESS COMES… YOU GUSSED IT RIGHT….. SPAM!
AND HENCE WE ALL IN COURSE OF TIME HAVE GOTTEN SUCH SUGAR COATED MESSAGES LIKE OFFERING OF A BLIND DATE, A THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM AMERICA ,RAINBOWS AND AWARNESS ABOUT THIS IS VERY NECESSARY! THE WORST UNICORNS!
#2 HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM LOGIC BOMBS?
WHERE ARE YOU LOGGING FROM?
IT HAPPENS MANY TIMES THAT WE OFTEN IN HURRY LOGIN OUR EMAIL THROUGH ANY WIFI AVAILABLE. MANY TIMES ITS HOTEL WIFI, STATION WIFIF ETC… BUT ARE THESES WIFI REALLY SAFE ? SADLY THE ANSWER HERE REMAINS NO! MANY CASES OF CYBER HACKING HAVE BEEN OBSERVED DUE TO POOR WIFI LOOGINGS WHICH ARE OFTEN DECRIBED AS ‘‘FREE’’… BUT THE SAME ARE TRACKED BY THE HACKER WHICH AS SOON AS YOU OPEN ANY MOBILE APPLICATION IN YOUR PHONE, BOOM! YOUR PHONES HACKED IN NO TIME AND THE WORST PART, YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE ANY CLUE ABOUT IT!
#3 Different site, different passwords:
Keeping a common password for all online accounts is a lot like having the same key for all locks. Only difference being that it is a lot easier to get hold of the online key. Also never reuse your main email password. But most online users own accounts in over a dozen sites. So either try and use clever variations or start doing some really heavy memory-enhancement exercise. If you don’t want your p.c. to be hacked!
(pro tip; Almonds work in such cases!)
