Email account theft is growing!
People break into your email account to try to steal from your contacts or get financial information from you. Make sure you use a secure password. The minimum should be 8 characters with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one number. Better would be 10 or more characters. A couple of tricks that can make a password complicated but easy for you to remember:
1) Use a phrase without spaces like “Idontliketogotothepark” Even without a number these longer passwords are harder to break.
2) Use something common but change some letters for numbers. For example if I were to use computer as a password I could spell it C0mput3r
If you have had you account broken into and need help getting it back let me know.
