How they steal passwords then hijack accounts
The
first thing hackers do is get your email address -- which is very easy
if you are on social networks. Then they send you spam mail (when you
sign in to any of your accounts, observe from time to time the dots that
hide the characters of your password. If you notice that the first dots
have erasure marks, someone has already started trying to hack your
password for sure). If they succeed in cracking one of your weak
passwords, they hijack your account by changing the password, own the
account or site, and use it for scams. Then they can transfer money (if
available) and make purchases.
Losing
a hacked account -- especially an email account -- is heart-breaking
enough. Losing your hard-earned bank cash will break your heart more.
Using Your eMail Safely
The Best Backup and Trick eMail Services
These
are very useful services and each has a different function. As for
photographers, there are rush times you need to send your works to
clients before the photos are copyrighted. At those instances, using
Safe-mail or Privnote would be wise.
Safe-Mail
As its name implies, Safe-mail is a highly secure communication system because your messages
are automatically encrypted. Security has been designed into the system -- not as an add-on.
Safe-mail has two services:
Private Mail
You can get the free account before opting to a premium one.
Business Mail
No
need saying that business mails should be secure so this is really
where Safe-mail must be used. Safe-mail will provide you with multiple
email addresses under your own domain.

Azigo
I call it the 'pleasure mail box' because it's where you transfer non-hectic, non-business messages.
There
are messages that need to be read at once and others which need not be.
If all those messages are boxed together, you will have to sort them
out and waste time. Azigo solves that problem. Azigo will give you a
domain (you@azigo.com) where you can transfer all your 'pleasure' mails
from all email providers. No more wasting time sorting clogged business
mail boxes. It’s a fast, visual way to see more of what you
like.https://azigo.com
PrivNote
The
'James Bond' email. The one to use if you want to send sensitive
messages the safest way. How 'safest'? The message you send
self-destructs after being read! (So I suggest the recipient to copy
details of the note with pen and paper. Making a digital copy of the
message defeats the purpose of Privnote!)
How it works:
After
writing your note, Privnote will provide you with a link. Then you copy
and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to
the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the
link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the
note will automatically self-destruct after being read. No one (even
that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work
anymore.
