Why Hackers Want Your Email First

Why Hackers Want Your Email First

Many people think hackers are after their bank account, but in reality, your email account is often the most valuable target.

If an attacker gains access to your email, they can request password resets for dozens of other accounts, including social media, shopping websites, work accounts, and even financial services. Once they control your inbox, they can receive the reset links and take over many of your online accounts.

That’s why your email deserves extra protection. Use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication, and use an anti-phishing app that can detect fake websites and suspicious links before you click on them.
