Protect Your Personal Data
There are a lot of scams or fraud now in the internet. Some of these are the recent post I posted about Lotto scams in the internet. I have been receiving a lot of these everyday and sometimes it is just very disappointing seeing those trash scam mails in your inbox. I really don’t know how these people will be stopped in their bad acts. Just last week, I had some problems in viewing the mails in my inbox. I can sign-in but I can’t view the emails in my inbox. I thought my email was hacked or maybe yahoo had voided or cancelled my account. I was quite scared about it because my email addresses also contain my personal data. I also read from a friend’s site that her email add was cancelled by yahoo for some reason. In my case I was also afraid about it. I believed I have not violated yahoo’s TOS. After some days of figuring it, I finally found the solution by editing some things in my account settings. I simply changed my preferred content in the settings and bingo, I finally viewed my inbox. Thanks goodness for that. Thanks also to yahoo for the great service!
Situation like these, I realized that we should protect our personal data in the internet. My computer has firewall and anti-virus. Are these a guarantee that our personal data in the internet can be protected from viruses, malwares or spywares that are roaming in the cyberspace now? I was very curious about installing some sort of PGP encryption software. Through these software we can put encryptions to our emails, IM accounts and even hard drive to help protect our computer including our personal files and data in our PC. I read a lot of important and interesting articles at PGP which really makes me curious of installing such software. We should protect our personal data before it is too late! I better consult my husband about this! Better late than never!!
