Emails allow individuals and organizations to send messages, files and contents across the globe without much effort. However, like almost everything in the Internet, emails are also susceptible to cyber attacks.
Most email service providers have good security for transmitting your emails. But, after transmission, security of any content sent will be in the hands of the recipient; if the recipient of your email do not secure your files well or his or her email account is compromised, your attached files will be vulnerable to theft, illegal modification and other malicious threats.
Emails are often trusted by users without any second thought as long as it appears legitimate and the emails seem to originate from a trusted source. Nonetheless, emails can be easily ‘spoofed’ or faked to appear trustworthy. Without any concrete and reliable method of verification of your email, one is exposed to phishing attacks and may lose valuable and sensitive data just by clicking on or opening e.g. an attachment!
