Security Awareness

Tips and guidelines for email protection
 

• Change your email password periodically, preferably consist of letters, numbers and symbols, to make the access difficult by hackers.
• Don’t download or open any unknown attachment because it might contain viruses or spy software unless it is from a trusted source. Ensure it is free from viruses where there are a number of websites providing scanning the attachments by programs that are downloaded to your computer.
• Never use piracy software in any way, since most of those programs contain viruses and spyware.
• Avoid posting personal information on your computer or email to avoid others accessing to it in your computer if exposed to hacking and using them in your personal goals.
• Don’t share passwords of email and social media accounts with anyone.
• Use different e-mail addresses for registration in different accounts, to avoid access to other accounts in the case of email theft.
• Don’t disclose personal information to anyone unreliable on internet, such as passport or personal ID number or date of birth, phone number, where the websites don't need these data unless recognized sites require these.
• Activate verification tool in access to email, which lets you put your mobile phone number and alternative email for security options and retrieve your password. Most of the recent email saving companies have enabled this facility on their security options, so that they do not modify any data in the security options of your account without entering the confirmation code sent to your mobile phone.
