Email security isn’t just the email provider or your IT administrator’s responsibility. It’s everybody’s responsibility. We all want to avoid having to produce a new resume. Here are some Safety Tips to help you all be protected and keep spam & malware to an absolute minimum.

1. Change your password often.
2. Use strong passwords. Never use a password that contains “password” or “letmein” or “welcome”.
3. Use a different password for each of your accounts. If you use the same password for your bank account as you do for your email account, you become much more vulnerable to data theft.
4. Don’t open an attachment unless you know who it is from & are expecting it.
5. Be cautious about email messages that instruct you to enable macros before downloading Word or Excel attachments.
6. Use anti-virus software on your local machine, and make sure it’s kept up-to-date with the latest virus updates.
