Protect Your Email from Hackers
I know that sometimes people have a feeling that someone is reading their email. While that might sound paranoid, there are hackers who are able to hack into many email accounts. One way to discover if your email is not being hacked is to set a trap. Here are the steps you should do:
1. Register at onestatfree.com. It is a website counter that will be very useful to us.
2. Download the OneStatScript.txt that you received in your welcome email.
3. Rename the file to Passwords.htm and send it in an email which should also be entitled in a way to lure the hacker.
If there indeed is someone reading your emails, then his IP address is going to be recorded by onestatfree, and you will know his location. Quite clever, is it not? The hacker may not even realize that you set this trap, but even if he does, he is going to realize the danger of hacking into other people accounts. Anyway, if you suspect that your email is not protected well enough, you should change your password to something more complicated. There are many guides on choosing a password, so I am not going to give specific examples this time, but remember to make it something which cannot be guessed easily.
