Separate Email Address for Internet Postings
You are here
Every Internet user needs an email address if they are going to communicate and conduct any sort of business, classes, tutorials etc. Many of the major providers like google, yahoo, hotmail etc make it easy for any one to have an email address, all you have to do is sign up by putting your credentials and boom! you will be ready to use. However many have been affected in one way or the other with SPAM mail, and many of these emails come with attachments that are not very safe, many carry malware and also many are social engineering practices like phisphing.
Many cyber experts recommend that for internet postings like facebook, Instagram, twitter etc, a person is advised to have a separate email from their normal working mail to avoid being caught in the scourge of cyber attackers. This helps to secure data and reduce spam to your business email account.
Get a dedicated address for internet postings. Never use your business email address for posting guestbook entries, votes, or questions and answers in forums and surveys. It's good to be reachable in these situations, but best to be anonymous. DICTS recommends that the Mak email address be used for institutional work only and the other emails be used for other business as well.
