Class 8.11: Email Safety

Be cautious when opening email attachments. Attached files may contain malware, which can damage your computer — or it may install code that can track your activities
Don’t fall for email scams. Online criminals may use email to get your personal information and steal your identity. Or an email might entice you to click a link that takes you to a bogus site or downloads malware (malicious software) to your computer
Create safe email usernames. Whether you're creating an email account or a user account on a social networking or special-interest site, be careful how much information you give away even in your username
