Instruction
1. As much as possible to secure itself against cracking of a sovy mailbox adhere to the following councils: Set most protected password on the box. The password consisting not less than of 10 signs and including both digits, and a letter in the lower and upper case is considered the good password. Change the password at least once in three months. The malefactor can get into your mail vospolzovashis the simple answer to a confidential question. Therefore install to yourself an own question with the answer which only you can know.
2. If you browses mail via the web interface, then turn off viewing letters in the form of HTML, read them in a simple text view that the malefactor could not use XXS (mezhsaytingovy skripting) allowing to steal data of your session. In addition tie the files of cookies (cookies) to the IP address if there is such opportunity (some services e-mail do not give this opportunity). Surely tie the mailbox to the mobile phone - it will poorly protect your e-mail, but in case of cracking you will be able always to restore a box.
3. When viewing letters use the network screen of an antivirus. Never download and do not install the files sent you on by mail as they can be infected. Even if they were sent from the familiar postal address, there is a probability that mail of your acquaintance was cracked and now send from it harmful progrmama. Many users come across so-called "phishing". "Phishing website" is the harmful website which is completely imitating the interface of the real website created for this purpose, toba users entered the data. It is possible to distinguish a phishing site on its url in an address bar, it will differ from url of the website necessary to you. Therefore attentively browse the website address in a line of the browser.
4. Never and transfer to nobody the data from e-mail. Often swindlers, masking under administration of the e-mail server carry out bulk mailings with a request to specify your data. Remember — the real administration of e-mail servers will never carry out mailings of letters with a request to specify the login and the password. If you enter your mail not from the personal computer, and from the worker or from an Internet cafe, then always tick off in a cheksboksa "someone else's computer". Having finished work with mail, you always leave it, having completed a session of knopoky "vyiyta". Thus on someone else's computer there will be no saved file left by means of which it would be possible to come on your box.
