Email

Email has become a critical way many of us communicate with friends and families and conduct business. We have become used to getting many messages a day and often those message have attachments, such as documents and photos, or links to websites that senders think might be of interest.

Everybody enjoys this added convenience and speed of communication that email facilitates. However, cyber criminals have also discovered that email is an effective way to trick people into visiting websites that collect personal information (phishing^G) or download malicious software (spyware^G) and have overloaded our email inboxes with messages we didn’t ask for and don’t want (known as Spam^G).

Criminals will continue to evolve their practices but is not hard to stay ahead of them by being alert^G for suspicious email and using technology to filter potentially unwanted email from you inbox.
