E-mail Safety

A few quick tips to remember about using e-mail:

• Change your password often (and keep it in a safe place)
• Don’t share the password with anyone
• Don’t open any attachments unless they are run through an antivirus program
• Log off when done
• Don’t reply to spam, harassing, or offensive e-mail
• Use common sense and keep personal information personal
• Delete all e-mails, unread, from people you don’t know
• Don’t be caught by the spammers’ favorite trick, “Remember me?”
