Hey folks, hope you checked out your email and didn’t find any difficult in logging in or hope you didn’t find any trash in the inbox. Well here, in this article I find it necessary to discuss with you the ways of protecting your darling email account from malevolent hackers who attacks your email and sneak peek into your privacy. Apart from fixing up an antivirus software and secure connection you need to be vigilant enough to manage the passwords. Now let’s get into the business by explaining the ways in which you can safeguard the accounts.
Getting into the email account - first step to be carried out is the identification of damage. For this we have to visit the website of our mail provider and log in with the password. Once you’re into your email account, the first thing you should do is change your password. Your account will be safe and secured until you use a long and strong password which contains multiple cases, special characters and other symbols. I would appreciate if you avoid implementing words which you are related to in the password. We can deal with the password protection after sometime but now this has to be done to prevent the hacker from getting into the account.
Checking out other accounts of yours - once you are done with the temporary changing of the email account password the very next thing you should do is change the password of other accounts like facebook, twitter or internet banking which may be using the same password. It is crucial if you use your email address as the username for these accounts, as the hackers will now have both your username and password for those services. Check your inbox and trash for any password reset emails from other services or accounts associated with the email address not initialized by you. The hacker could have made attempts to change your password on other sites, using access to your email to carry out password resets.
Checking for spam - Some hackers’ get into the email accounts in order to attack your friends or contacts. They use your email address to send spam or phishing emails to play prank with your friends by confusing them into thinking you need help, buy something or into giving up personal information. If this happens a quick check of your sent email or inbox for unreliable replies will help identify anyone who was targeted from your contacts list. It is important that you should let the email receiver that the email was not sent by you through any other medium of communication.
If the password you have given to your account is pretty complex to comprehend then the hackers’ attempt to sneak in to your account will turn out to be futile. In addition to the process of changing the password a facility called two-factor authentication is becoming increasingly available. Along with your username and password you have another form of identification, normally consisting of a code generated by a key fob or a Smartphone app, that has to be given at the time of signing in and alters every minute or so. It means are securing your account with another layer of security.
