Over the last few pages, I’ve tried to cover the basics of email security. We looked at some preventive measures such as good passwords and backing up. We then went over ways in which we can try to recover if something does happen, and also some more tips on protecting yourself, such as common sense, anti-malware etc.
In my opinion, online security will always remain a threat to a certain degree or another — mainly because there will always be people trying to crack it and get a hold of information they are not meant to see! But that certainly does not mean we can stop worrying about it and give up!
Online privacy is an existing concern, and people need to realize the implications of identity theft. The above guidelines are meant to help people secure themselves better online and also as a call to raise awareness when it comes to online security and best practices. The ramifications of personal information getting into the wrong hands are terrifying and enough to make you want to scream.
With the advent of more and more advanced technology in the online World, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to safeguard one’s self from such threats. From Facebook to Amazon, Geni to Mint – an increasing amount of day-to-day activity can now take place over the Internet, where it is arguably much less secure (and private) than it is offline.
What choice does one have in the matter? Do we simply give up the utility and stop using these services altogether? Or should we push for a more secure Internet where we don’t have to be constantly looking over our backs to feel safe?
