Email has very quickly become one of the most common contemporary ways of sending and receiving information and because of its common usage and most people’s familiarity with the medium, it is very easy to become complacent when opening emails or attached files from sources you may not be entirely familiar with.
One of the most common ways of transferring computer viruses,spyware or keylogging programs onto a PC is via email – mostly with attachments. As a rule of thumb, you should not open any attachment in an email from a source you are not familiar with or know. In many cases, it is good practice not to open the email itself – especially if you feel the origin is suspicious or if the subject matter is unusual. If you need more information in how to protect your emails or internet system, please get in touch.
