If
you are not well adverse with the use of computer and internet and just got
your first email account, then this article is surely going to help you a lot.
Email can be of any type, it can be personal or something about transactions or
business letters. However, the chances of risking data stays back at every
steps and to keep at pace with it you need to follow some rules to keep your
Yahoo email account safe from the hackers –
Step 1
If
you are using Yahoo, you can find their security measure to protect your
account. They timely send emails to their customers if attempts are made to
compromise it from different IP addresses and ask you to change the password.
Step 2
If
you have a complicated email address, is not so that you will forget but it is
good as your hacker will not be able to guess it through your name.
Step 3
You
need to set up a secure password. Do make sure the password is not tough, does
not use your name or last name. You must use a complicate code such as
“mrael086” or “09474M96” so it becomes impossible for the hackers to guess. A
good password will contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters,
special characters. A password with a mixture of alphabets and numbers is a
secure form of password.
Step 4
If
you do not use an anti virus then your email is at risk. Therefore, it better
to download free antivirus software. Do not use wireless connection as `it
becomes easy for the hackers to break its code.
Step 5
Your
email ID and the password are some of the most important confidential
information. No company’s employee will ever ask for the password over an
unsolicited phone call or email message. If he or she sends then he is a
hacker, immediately out them in the spam list.
Step 6
If
you are victim of the compromised password, then you must contact the company
immediately. Since every company has their own account verification department.
Step 7
If
someone not calling from the Yahoo technical support asks for your email and password, do not
share the same with them.
Step 8
Change
the security question immediately and answer them wisely. The answer to good
security question must not be easily guessed or researched, must not change
over the time, is memorable and is simple.
