If your email has ever been hacked you know how annoying it is to notify your contacts and possibly change your email address. It is also scary to think someone has gained access to your personal information. Hacking personal emails is the fastest way for criminals to gain access to your financial information. YIKES!
Try these three tips to protect your email and personal information.
Make up fake answers to security questions. Social media can make it easy to find out maiden names and birthplaces.
Have a secret email address that you only use for financial institutions and bill paying.
Use different passwords for each account and make sure they are at least 10 characters long and contain numbers, symbols and both upper and lowercase letters.
