Email security measures will help prevent computer issues later. |
|
|
- Don't share your password with anyone. Most
reputable ISPs and server administrators never ask
for your password. Know your network. If an email asks
for your password, do not respond.
- Update browser and email programs
frequently
- Do not open attachments. Period. If someone you
don't know sends attachments, don't open them. If
someone you know sends attachments, don't up unless
you are expecting it.
- Automatically delete email from unknown
sources
- Do not respond to spam, ignore and delete and/or
forward it to appropriate department. Responding to
spam lets the sender know that you have an active,
valid email address.
- Log out of your email account. If you are using a
public terminal close the browser before you
leave.
- Email or popup asking for personal information, do
not reply, click or respond.
- Install and keep current any antivirus and
firewall protections. Phishing email may contain
harmful viruses.
- Know legitimate emails from third parties and the
security policies in how your email will be used
