Security and Email

Posted in: Email, Web Info, Tips & Tricks

You know when you’re ordering something online and you see that little lock at the bottom of the screen? That lock icon assures you that all the personal and credit card information you’re about to send to the merchant is safe and secure.

It’s no coincidence that little lock never shows up when you’re in your e-mail program: the e-mails you send to your friends, family and colleagues are far from secure. In a nutshell, this means your e-mails can be intercepted and read by someone else. For this exact reason, our Internet/e-mail tip of the week is to never ever EVER send confidential information (such as your credit card number and expiration date) via email.
