Comments on: Are you Sure your Email isn’t being Hacked? http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/are-you-sure-your-email-isnt-being-hacked/ Cool Websites, Software and Internet Tips Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Encryption Software http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/are-you-sure-your-email-isnt-being-hacked/#comment-414689 Encryption Software Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:28:13 +0000 http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/are-you-sure-your-email-isnt-being-hacked/#comment-414689 Like most people, my email is usually petty, personal stuff. For example, I would not be the least bit hurt if someone read the latest email I sent to my brother, which included a list of potential skis to ride on this winter. Most email is irrelevant and petty interchange. However, I would not be so foolish as to send any valuable passwords and usernames over an open connection, even one as seemingly popular as Google. I would definitely encrypt the contents first so only the end user with the right encryption key could open it (and I would tell them the encryption key on the phone or some other secure line; NOT in the email).

I tried it and had some problems with the site. I've sent in at least 4 tickets to the "customer support" and never heard a peep. Nice concept, poor execution.

A snooper can still read your signed emails... and do you have public keys of everyone you are in contact with via email? I thought so...
