You will be surprised how easy it is for somebody to read your emails without you knowing it?

Yes that’s true, the inbox of majority among us is as secure as closing the door and leaving the key in front of it. How much ever secure your online bank accounts and credit card accounts may be but if your inbox is insecure, you can imagine what it will be like. Have you ever thought who else might have read that email about forgotten password or the one about your new account name and password? So you get it if your inbox is not secure however secure your other accounts are they are as well jeopardized.
Scary thing is that to break into your email account, one doesn’t need a hacker, a black hat or password cruncher software. You yourself are your enemy. You yourself hand over your email address and password to the possible email thief. How is that? OK suppose you get to this new website and to access some exciting stuff you need to be a member of the website. All you need to do is fill out a form. Something like this

First Name                     :____________________________
Last Name                     :____________________________
Address                         :____________________________
Username                       :___________________________
Password                       :___________________________
Confirm Password          :___________________________
Email Address                :___________________________

Imagine yourself filling out this form. No rubbish please, just fill what usually you will on a “genuine” website. Now think of what email address you would have filled and also what password you might have provided. For majority among us who are not able to remember all the passwords for all the web accounts, the password may be same as the password for the email address. So here you have given the address where to find your inbox and also the password to that inbox to a webmaster who if he has malice intentions can open the lock with the key you provided.
My advice here will be to be secure always have an email address handy for such registrations. And always keep your email address given to bank accounts, credit card account, paypal or other important accounts unique for that purpose and keep its password unique as well. Wish you happy and secure browsing.
