We receive and send dozens of emails every day. But some of them can be dangerous and may result in data loss or computer crashes.
🛡Our CIO, Alexey Leonitsky, reminds some basic security rules for email protection:
📌 Make shure not to follow the links sent from unknown sources
📌 Do not run applicatios, received by email (even if the letter has been sent by a well-known person)
📌 Don’t trust even “reputable” addresses (such as support@google.com or webmaster@microsoft.com, for instance). They never send programs to their users, but the sender’s address is very easy to forge and many scammers use it to send potentially dangerous programs or links to them
📌 Do not allow running macros when opening MS Office files
📌 Do not respond to emails asking you to change your password or provide personal information, no matter how trustworthy the message may seem
📌 It is better not to use a corporate e-mail address to exchange personal emails and register for services that are not directly related to your work
📌 If possible, disable automatic corporate mail forwarding to third-party mail services
