Avoid using the same password you’ve used elsewhere.
Sending Email/Spam Emails
Use strong passwords. Never use a password that contains "password" or "letmein".
Instead of clicking on links, open a new browser and manually type in the address.
Change your password often.
Don't give your email address to sites you don't trust.
Personalize your email without using the recipient’s name
Don't share passwords.
Don't reply to spam. Be aware that if you reply to a spam email, your reply most-likely will not go back to the original spammer because the FROM header in the spam message will most-likely be forged.
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.
Don't send personal information in an email message.
Use anti-virus software on your local machine, and make sure it's kept up-to-date with the latest virus definitions.
If you receive an attachment from someone you don't know, don't open it. Delete it immediately.
