How to secure your mail?

[Oberon]

I just use similar methods myself. : D

I agree. Simple common sense is used. It is as if asking itself for the mind. : lol:

Andrey Hello! Question. But do we have completely secret information or secret? This is not provided for by laws, so is it worth it to play konrrazvedikov? Igor

Worth it. When you send an array of information on an object, it is not known how an outsider can use it. For example, I’m beware. Then you won’t get rid of the charge of fraud.

All right, not seeds, all the same, we trade information. But such security methods are not so complicated and should not be neglected.

And jokingly and seriously (if this topic is anyone else interested)
Safe mail is somewhat reminiscent of safe sex: the more you think about security, the less pleasure you get. In addition, security is not cheap, but you still won’t get a 100% guarantee. Isn't it better to give a damn about caution and relax? However, as is known from practice, a frivolous attitude to security issues can lead to the most unpleasant consequences, so willy-nilly you have to choose what is more important to you.
Let's go get some advice. Well, who understands security issues better than the world-famous Microsoft?
We will follow their recommendations:
... "To increase the security level of e-mail, set the mail program settings for reading all received messages in plain text. To read messages in text format, you need to change the registry. If you are not sure that you can deal with unexpected errors, do not make changes to the registry. "...
Do you understand anything? “Don’t deposit - don’t deposit ...” What should a simple person do, who not only cannot change the registry, but does not even know what it is? After reading such tips, a feeling of hopelessness is born: hack! and really nothing can be done against it ... In the face of ruthless hackers, an inexperienced email owner feels naked and defenseless.

Is everything hopeless?
You can increase the security of your mail by dozens of times, making it virtually invulnerable to the majority of amateur hackers. I do not pretend to the special originality and novelty of these tips, but still it is worth recalling them again.

1. Never, under any circumstances, open files attached to a letter if you absolutely do not know exactly what they contain. If you have at least a shadow of doubt - without opening it, throw them in the trash. It is better to make mistakes and erase innocent pictures than to get a keylogger into a computer along with a file.
2. Never follow the links provided in the text of the letter, no matter how attractive, attractive and interesting they may seem to you. Even if the letter was sent from your best friend: there is nothing easier than forging a return address, and a link can lead you to a script with unpredictable consequences.
3. Send letters from the mail program; download incoming mail to the mail program as often as possible and use the option "Erase after downloading" (it is in most mail programs). In this case, your mailbox will almost always be empty and the burglar will be very disappointed.
Not so complicated, is it? And thereby you neutralize 99% of hacking attempts. For those who find this not enough, you can give a couple more simple tips.
4. Buy yourself a place on a paid server. It costs $ 20-30 a year, but will make your mail almost invulnerable to small hackers: none of them can work with mail that does not have a Web interface (namely, it is on paid servers). In addition, the IP of visitors is recorded on paid servers, which will give you the opportunity to control whether someone else has visited you in the box.

For those who do not want to buy anything - use Gmail.
Gmail Email Security:
[DLMURL="https://anonym.to?https://compass-blogger.com.ua/internet_security/e-mail-protection.html"] here is the link [/ DLMURL] (very detailed and useful).

There are also general recommendations for those who do not like high-quality American service:
Use complex passwords.
Use the maximum password length (I use 16 characters and signs, my comment).
Be sure to use the installation of the original secret question and answer when registering.
Do not register in different services for only one mailbox (in the upper posts they wrote about the practice of using 18 mailboxes, my comment).
Change passwords at least twice a year.
Do not use passwords from your email accounts on other sites.
Do not enter passwords after clicking on the link from the letter or any other place, except on the main page of the account or the login page of the mail service (if you decide to follow the link, my comment).
Keep your browser safe, perform regular updates (configure automatically, mine approx.).
In addition to the antivirus, use a firewall on your computer (believe me, it’s easy, my comment).
Keep your computer safe, perform regular updates to the system, software and, most importantly, anti-virus.
After the next use of the browser, you need to clean the garbage that he collected during the Internet surfing (I recommend the program CCiner, intuitive and effective, my comment).
